I have following formula in Cell B11.

=IF((COUNTA(A2:A10)-COUNTIF(A2:A10,A2))=6,"Y","")

It checks if the value of A2 cell appeared 3 times in a last nine rows and show Y or else remain blank.

I want to check values of all 9 cells from A2:A10 and display VALUE in B11 only if following conditions are met:

1. there is only one value in 9 cells which have appeared 3 times. All other values need to be 2 or below.


So for eg.

A
A
B
C
D
E
F
A

IT SHOULD DISPLAY 'A'

A
B
B
B
B
C
D
D
D

It should display NONE, as more than one value have appeared 3 times or more

A
A
A
B
A
C
D
E
F

It should display NONE, as A has appeared more than 3 times in last 9 rows

Thanks for all your help.
