Hello,

I have a fun Roulette spreadsheet that starts with a random number generator in column A (1-37 numbers) (A4:A10000), Column B tells me if I won or not referencing the only numbers that will lose in column J. Then G4 will tell me the Max number of losses consecutively, But I would also like to know how many times I have 4 or more consecutive losses at a time through my 10,000 spins in column A. For example I know that I had a max losing streak of 5 times according to G4, but how many times in Column B, did I lose at least 4 times in a row? Thank you for your help..

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Sorry, this pic may be easier to see..

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

How about
Excel Formula:
=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(B4:B10000=F4,ROW(B4:B10000)),IF(B4:B10000<>F4,ROW(B4:B10000)))>3))

Thank you so much fluff! That formula works and I will update my info as you suggested! ;)
