Hi All,

I'm working on trying to produce some stats for a football league I help run. As the results come in I just put a W or a L against the team name to show if they won or lost. The data is in columns F2:G1255. An example is show below.

I want to create a formula that shows the most amount of consecutive losses "L" a team has had. The answer I would want for Baystown in the example shown would be 4.

Then I need to create a formula for the most amount of consecutive Wins "W" a team has had. The answer I would want for Globe in the example shown would be 3.

Does anyone know if the above formulas are possible please?

Kind regards,
James

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
