I am trying to use a formula to count the consecutive letters in a row from an attendance sheet. The letter is "Y" if they have attended and sometimes it is consecutive 2 or 3 times and then further in the table is consecutive 4 or 5 times. I would like the formula to display the higher of the consecutives.

Thanks
