[FONT=&quot]Hi guys,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I am looking for a query that allows me to count how many events occurred between each "x" event. The desired output is illustrated in the picture hereby attached. For instance, the second event is "x" and I would like to have as output 2. In the case of the third one is still "x", but given that the previous one is also "x" the output is 1.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thank you in advance for any help!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Welcome to the Board.

Try this in C2 and drag down:

=IF(B2<>"x",0,ROW(B2)-IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/($B$1:$B1="x"),ROW($B$1:$B1)),1))
