Hi,

I’m trying to find the address of the First Five Row numbers in a given column where continuously the cell values are >= X. There can be multiple instance where we can find continuous rows where cell values are >=X, but I need the first occurrence only.

For example in column A, continuously values in the 5 rows i.e., A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 are >=x(10) and also in row number A13 A14 A15 A16 A17 etc. But the row# A5 to A9 is the first occurrence (first five consecutive values) and I need the address of the row numbers as output i.e., A5:A9

To Save and Run UDF:-
Copy Function from Thread
In Your Data sheet , Click "Alt+F11",:- Vb Window appears.
From the VBWindow toolbar, Click "Insert" ,"Module":- New VBwindow appears .
Paste Code into this window.
Close Vbwindow.

In sheet, Add the "function" in a cell as :- =Seq(A2:A23)
NB:- Once you've added the first bracket you can select the range from the sheet
Then closing Bracket, then click "Enter"
The cell should now show the result, in this case $A$5:$A$9
.

Dear Mick,

Thank you for the code and it does extract the first five consecutive values. But i need these first five consecutive values to be greater than or equal to value X, where X is a failure criterion value, and I have to give this value as an input during the calculations (In general, the value X is stored in the first row of the column).

Could you please incorporate this additional step in your below code?

With Regards,
Anilkumar KN

Try this

Code: 
Public Function Get_Address(rng As Range, x As Double) As String
    Dim arr, a As Long
    arr = rng
    
    For a = 1 To UBound(arr) - 4
        If arr(a, 1) >= x And arr(a + 1, 1) >= x And arr(a + 2, 1) >= x And arr(a + 3, 1) >= x And arr(a + 4, 1) >= x Then
            Get_Address = rng.Cells(a).Resize(5).Address(0, 0)
            Exit Function
        End If
    Next a
    If Get_Address = "" Then Get_Address = "not found"
End Function

Use in VBA like this
Code: 
Sub CallFunction()
    MsgBox Get_Address(Range("A:A"), 10)
    MsgBox Get_Address(Range("A:A"), Range("F1"))
End Sub
