Counting how many consecutive negative or positive numbers in column.
Hi all,
I have a column of numbers ( a mix of positive and negative ) I want to have it displayed in the neighbouring cell how many of that kind of number ( positive or negative ) have been in sequence up until that cell.
I have attached an example.
Cheers.
In C3, then copied down:
=IF(SIGN($B3)=SIGN($B4),"",(ROW()-(IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/(SIGN($B2:$B$3)<>SIGN($B3)),ROW($B2:$B$3)),ROW($B$2))))*SIGN($B3))
