Highlight if there is more than 6 consecutive cells containing the text ''Regulated Work''

[Muffinman72]

Hi members - I was wondering if someone could help me with what should be an easy formula. I need a formula in conditional formatting to highlight in red if there is more than 6 consecutive cells in a row with the same text "Regulated Work" - this is required to highlight if someone was tasked to work more than 6 days straight in a roster. This formula is almost getting it but Highlights when there is more than 6 occurrences in a row and not 6 consecutive occurrences only:
=SUM(--($4:$4="Regulated Work"))>6 and i need it to be applied to the whole sheet but only highlight if row value is more than 6 consecutive "Regulated Work" occurrences.
