Hi Martin
Thanks again for your help. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to paste that formula into my workbook (not sure why it doesnt work- as i said i'm at a very basic level with excel...)
I've attached another workbook and saved it this time as an .xls file, it shows exactly the set-up i'm trying to achieve but obviously doesn't have the formula to calculate the number of times a sequence without, say, 7 reds occurs.
Without trying to pester you, I would really appreciate it if you could enter that formula so that it works in the table i have set up. Instead of the "R" and "B", i've tried to include the numbers and the column to the right shows which numbers are Red and which are Black.
I would be grateful of any help and sorry again for the hassle.
Regards,
Stephen.
