    Count number of cells between two cells with a positive value.

    I'm desperately looking for a formula which will return the same values I have in line 9 of my example.xls sheet.

    It simply returns the number of cells between two cells in a timeline, which actually have values (not zero), like in line 4.

    So as an example: there is a value in E4 and then zeros until J4. I need the cells in E9 to I9 to tell me that there are 5 periods between the two.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Re: Count number of cells between two cells with a positive value.

    Hi,

    Not quite sure how you arrived at your value of 0 for Jan, so I just added a simple clause which will default the first return to 0, but this array formula (confirm with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER) in D9 and copied across should match your desired results:

    =IF(COLUMNS($A:A)=1,0,1+INDEX(FREQUENCY(IF($D$4:$Z$4=0,COLUMN($D$4:$Z$4)),IF($D$4:$Z$4<>0,COLUMN($D$4:$Z$4))),1+COUNTIF($D$4:D$4,">0")))
