Count consecutive repeted values

for example if you have values of

1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1
how to count number of occurances where value of 1 is 3 consecutive times? Obviously answer is 3 in this instance but is there an excel formula to count/sum this?

Thanks in advance

Hi!

Assume your entries are in the range B1:W1

In B2 enter this formula:

=IF(C1<>B1,1,"")

In C2 enter this formula and copy across to W2:

=IF(D1<>C1,COLUMNS($B1:C1)-IF(COUNT($B2:B2),LOOKUP(2,1/ISNUMBER($B2:B2),COLUMN($B1:B1)-1),0),"")

To count the number of times 1 is entered in 3 consecutive cells:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:W1=1),--(B2:W2=3))

Here's another way...

Assuming that the second row contains your data, starting at B2, try...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(COUNTIF(OFFSET(B2,0,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,B2:IV2)-2))-1,1,3),1)=3))

You can continue adding your data to the second row and the formula will automatically update the count. Note that four consecutive values of 1, if it exists, is counted twice.

Hope this helps!

Sounds good but what if i have values in A1 to AA1 and all way down to A54000 to AA5400 and need to put answer in AB1 all way down to AB54000. it is hughe table of ones and zeros that i got stuck with

Try Domenic's approach.
