3 wins in a row

[methody]

Hello there

I have a list of sports fixtures eg Man Utd v Arsenal, Chelsea v spurs etc one below the other. I enter the scores eg Man Utd 0 v 1 Arsenal.

I am looking for a formula this will indicate when a team has won 4 matches in a row. So that as I enter all the results once the 4th consecutive wins for a particular team occurs an X appears to the right of that team indicating a run of 4.

The difficult is that team names may appear on the left and the right.

I would also want a new chain or run to start after the first 4 so that if there were 5 consecutive wins and X would not appear beside the 5th win.

A starting point might be to have a basic If formula to the left or right of each fixture indicating W or L but that's as far far as I can go.

thanks

This is the method I used (after a bit of a clean-up)

<TABLE style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; PADDING-LEFT: 2pt; PADDING-RIGHT: 2pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11pt" border=1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 30px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><COL style="WIDTH: 82px"><COL style="WIDTH: 82px"><COL style="WIDTH: 44px"><COL style="WIDTH: 41px"><COL style="WIDTH: 82px"><COL style="WIDTH: 82px"><COL style="WIDTH: 97px"><COL style="WIDTH: 56px"></COLGROUP><TBODY><TR style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><TD> </TD><TD>B</TD><TD>C</TD><TD>D</TD><TD>E</TD><TD>F</TD><TD>G</TD><TD>H</TD><TD>I</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 18px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">1</TD><TD>HomeTeam</TD><TD>AwayTeam</TD><TD>Home</TD><TD>Away</TD><TD>Winner</TD><TD>Loser</TD><TD>Loss counter</TD><TD>3 Streak</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 18px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">2</TD><TD>Aston Villa</TD><TD>West Ham</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: right">3</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: right">0</TD><TD>Aston Villa</TD><TD>West Ham</TD><TD>West Ham1</TD><TD> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
<TABLE style="BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE: groove; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: #00ff00; BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE: groove; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffcf9; BORDER-TOP-COLOR: #00ff00; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BORDER-TOP-STYLE: groove; COLOR: #000000; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: #00ff00; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BORDER-LEFT-STYLE: groove; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: #00ff00"><TBODY><TR><TD>Spreadsheet Formulas</TD></TR><TR><TD><TABLE style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt" border=1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2><TBODY><TR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><TD>Cell</TD><TD>Formula</TD></TR><TR><TD>F2</TD><TD>=IF(D2>E2,B2,C2)</TD></TR><TR><TD>G2</TD><TD>=IF(D2<E2,B2,C2)</TD></TR><TR><TD>H2</TD><TD>=G2&COUNTIF(G$2:G2,G2)</TD></TR><TR><TD>I2</TD><TD>=IF(MOD(COUNTIF(INDEX(F$2:F$246,IF(COUNTIF(G$2:G2,F2),MATCH(F2&COUNTIF(G$2:G2,F2),H$2:H2,0),1)):F2,F2),3),"","X")</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Excel tables to the web >> http://www.excel-jeanie-html.de/index.php?f=1

In the last formula

=IF(MOD(COUNTIF(INDEX(F$2:F$246,IF(COUNTIF(G$2:G2,F2),MATCH(F2&COUNTIF(G$2:G2,F2),H$2:H2,0),1)):F2,F2),3),"","X")

246 was the row with the last result on the table used.
3 is the win streak to be flagged with "X"

Hope this helps.

Aladin, can you improve this?

Something I didn't notice has just been pointed out to me, the formula in G2 didn't display correctly, it should be

=IF(D2<E2,B2,C2)

got that working in 2003 now.

Thanks again
