    Question checking if values in column are in sequential order

    I have a bunch of values in a column, 10 rows deep, and would like to check if they are in sequential order. Instead of writing =IF(AND(A1<A2,A2<A3,A3<A4,.... and so on, is there way to do this with a shorter and simpler formula?

    Thanks

    You either quit or become really good at it. There are no other choices.

    Re: checking if values in column are in sequential order

    Try this

    =if(sumproduct(if(A1:A9<A2:A10,1,0))=9,"yes","no")

    Enter it as an array formula cntr + Shift + enter
