    Question Formula to recognize consecutive entries

    Hi,

    I am creating a schedule and need to find a way (formula?) for excel to recognize if a person has been scheduled more than 5 days in a row. I have a basic set up of the days of the week (2 weeks) across the top and names down the first column. I enter the shift number under the days they are scheduled to work. Any suggestions?

    Try...

    P3, confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, and copied down:

    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(B3:O3<>"",COLUMN(B3:O3)),IF(B3:O3="",COLUMN(B3:O3)))>5,1))
