    Need help in making Excel formula that counts number of days in a trade....

    I need some help in coming up with a formula that would do the following:

    Basically (refer to the screenshot below) I need a formula for Column W that would post a number 1 whenever Column O is not "-" and then continue counting until Column T posts a "Flip" text.
    In the screenshot below, I've shown an example of what I want the formula to display (only this time I've manually entered the Count).
    Since I'm dealing with over 20 Years of data, I'd appreciate if someone could suggest a formula for this as opposed to me doing it manually.

    Thanks in advance!

    Assuming data starts at row2 (it can't start at row1), put this formula in W2 and copy down:

    =IF(OR(O2="Bearish", T2="Flip", AND(T2="-",ISNUMBER(X1),T1<>"Flip")), N(X1)+1, "")


    Note: Images are usually a pain, a file encourages helpers to dive in and help more quickly.
