The minisheet below is my attempt to calculate the number of events (not the number of days) that have occurred since the last time that event occurred.
Col B has the events. Col C has the dates when they have occurred. Cols D & E are parts of the solution. D is the row # of this event. E is the row # of the previous occurrence of that event. Col F puts these together and adds IfError. Is there a better way?
Note: This depends on the table being sorted by date (newest to oldest).
