    Rule finder in Excel

    Hello,

    I have list of 1440 numbers (range from 1 to 5) in column A.
    I'm trying to find a rule which explains when number 5 will show up.
    For example, there is sequence of numbers 3,4,3,2,3,2, and then 5.
    Is possible to somehow explain when number 5 will show (some sort of prediction or model)?
    What should I use to achieve this? (Excel sheet is attached)

    Cool Re: Rule finder in Excel

    B1: =IF(A1=5,TRUE,"") and drag down
    or
    select whole range, go to Conditional Formatting.

    Sorry, probably you misunderstood question.

    I'm not trying to find position of number 5, I'm trying to predict when number 5 will show up.

    For example, if we imagine the empty list and we start to add numbers 4,2,3,4,3 etc. I want to predict when
    the number 5 will be added while using attached excel sheet (Book123) as sample.
    This list is a sample and I'm trying to explain when number 5 will show up.
    This is collected data in the past and I didn't know the exact sequence before.
