Hello All,

 

I'm trying to finding the count of Maximum and Minimum number of times a particular values("Estimated") has occurred continuously before new values. 

for the first row estimated has occurred two times in feb & march so the minimum count was "2", and after a break it occurred 4 time, so the maximum output is 4.

 

Please see the below example :

Hey @Scheruku! The key to getting your output was to Transpose the data then use a couple Multi-Row Formula tools. See the attached v11.0 workflow. Hope this helps!

Hi Barnes,

 

Thanks much for your time... The solution is working amazingly well except when there are maximum number of estimates ...

If the number of estimates are 9, the maximum count is 9 but the minimum count is going to 2. I think this solution should be fine.

 

Thank you very much for your time.

@Scheruku I'm glad that is working for you! In the last Formula tool, just before the Browse, you could modify the Min column's expression so that it reads:

 

iif(isnull([Min]),0,iif([Max]=9,9,[Min]))

This should take care of the case in which all 9 months are estimates.
