I need a formula written into cells (AI8 to EK8) to identify patterns and then count specific data. sheet name: SHOPEE PATTERNS ONE ROW have data of different shooter (wins and losses from cells B to H) that I need identify. There were 2 rows (AI4:EK4 and AI2:EK2) that will determine which cells to count and which to keep blank after applying the formula. For instance in cell AI1 written "SHOOPEE 3W->3W" that means I am looking for 2 consecutive wins in cells range from B to H. AI2 determine the second criteria "1 / L+1W+2W" 1 here is to address shooter number one those (L+1W+2W) tells us what I am looking in the column listed under shooter number 1

Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:11
now
User 22/05/2018 - 07:12
3W->3W , meaning I am looking for 2 times wins in a row
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:12
tell me range area
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:13
2 time wins mean 2W or like 2W + 2W
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:13
or 3W + 3W
User 22/05/2018 - 07:14
like check cell H77 and I77
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:14
oh ok
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:15
what is meant by
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:15
numbering giving before w
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:15
like 3 2 4 1
User 22/05/2018 - 07:15
you will find 3W 3W written side by side that means this cell meets the creteria for the search
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:15
ok
User 22/05/2018 - 07:16
suppose in shooting match he won 3 times and again 3 times in a row. Am I making any sense
User 22/05/2018 - 07:16
?
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:16
yes :)
User 22/05/2018 - 07:18
now if you check AI 2 it written "1 / L+1W+2W". here 1 / is to identity which shooter. its shooter number 1 (Shooter1 column J)
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:18
ok
User 22/05/2018 - 07:20
so in J column first look for 2 times 3w 3 win in different cell then see if in the straight J cell any of this 3 values are there L+1w+2w
User 22/05/2018 - 07:21
like in H77 and I77, you will see J77 (shooter1) its written 2w
User 22/05/2018 - 07:21
so its match the looking criteria. so the value here AI77 should be 1
User 22/05/2018 - 07:22
but if suppose we got any different vaule in cell J77 like 3w or anything above 2w then it should be -7
Excelchat Expert 22/05/2018 - 07:23
ok
User 22/05/2018 - 07:23

User 22/05/2018 - 07:24
