I have a series of quartile performances by month, an employee lands in a certain quartile for a month 1,2,3,4. I am counting the max consecutive occurrences of being in Q4, for my example below this occurs Jul, Aug Sep, Oct for a Max Consecutive Occurrence of 4. What I am struggling with figuring out is I need to know what month or column that occurred in so I can calculate what their tenure would have been at that time.
I am using:
={MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(A2:L2=4,COLUMN(A2:L2)),IF(A2:L2<>4,COLUMN(A2:L2))))}

to determine the # of max consecutive occurrences of "4"

Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
But you could have a situation where an employee was in the fourth quartile a maximum of 4 consecutive months twice; maybe it was a 4Q-max of 2, which could happen four times in a year. Right?
