    Question From a list of values find the first sequence of values that are less than x

    Hi all,

    I'd really appreciate if anyone can give me some help with my latest challange - i'm really struggling!

    I'm trying to workout a formula in F5 that will search the list in C6:C33 and find the first sequence of
    3 consecutive numbers (defined in F9) that is less than 1% (defined in F8).

    I've found a formula online which will allow me to get a sequence of numbers that match exactly but i can't work out how to make it look for values that are less than.

    =MATCH(1, COUNTIFS(E3, B1:B23, E4, B2:B24), 0)

    Please help! Any help appreciated!

    Can you add a Column D that counts how many rows above the current row match? Then have the formula in F5 match the first one with the same number as F9. So to be a little more clear the formula in cell D6 through D32 would be =COUNTIF($C$6:C32,"<" & $F$8) and the formula in F5 would be =MATCH(F9,D6:D32,0)?

    Hi -

    Please don't post photos of your spreadsheet. Retyping your data leads to errors and slows us down in getting you quick answers! It would be VERY helpful if you would post a copy of your spreadsheet. Simply click the Go Advanced button, scroll down to the Manage Files button, and then follow the directions to attach and upload your spreadsheet.

    Thanks,

    If you can not use textjoin or don't want to use ARRAY formula,
    please use these formulas.

    D6 (and copy down untill the end of data)

    based on my interpretation of your requirement, namely to return the number at which point the frequency criteria is met

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    the above will return the first number of the sequence, if you want the last, i.e. point at which the sequence completes, change the 1 (at end) to be $F$9
