Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Taking the difference between successive points (column B) gives you the discrete derivative. Anywhere that derivative crosses zero is an inflection point. But your data seems to be all over the place and there are inflection points everywhere.

I filtered out the constant data and found 282 inflections.

Thanks for the quick reply. What column would I add on to my chart to get the derivative and would I subtract that new column from column b? I'm not great with excel

I've got it there in my reply. Column C is the 'derivative' of column B. You can see that C2 = B2-B1. So for each derivative you loose a row of data.

Your data set had a many records where there was no change for 5 or 6 rows. So I filtered that out in Columns E and F - hoping to smooth it out a bit. It didn't help much. You have noisy data.

You might try smoothing a bit, and then taking the derivative. Maybe C10 could be AVERAGE(B1:B10), and then drag that down to the bottom of your data. Then in D11 = C11-C10. Then graph the new C and D.
