    How to get the number of times exactly 4 consecutive cells have a number greater than 6?

    I am wondering how to go about the following problem:
    Say I have a column with the following numbers

    0
    1
    8
    9
    10
    7
    0
    2
    5
    8
    9
    10
    14
    7
    8
    19
    46

    What I want is to go through a long list like this and count the number of times exactly 4 consecutive cells have numbers greater than 6. In this case it will be 1 not 3. It will be 1 for when I want 4 consecutive cells greater than 6 and it will be 1 when I want 8 consecutive cells greater than 6. Hope this makes sense. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Re: How to get the number of times exactly 4 consecutive cells have a number greater than

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:A17>6, ROW(A1:A17)), IF(A1:A17<=6, ROW(A1:A17)))=4))

    The formula MUST be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter.
