Here is an in-depth tutorial I have made about VLOOKUP: • Video
Below is the formula that was discussed in this video:
=IF((MAX(FREQUENCY(IF($D7:$N7="A",COLUMN($D7:$N7)),IF($D7:$N7 (Not Equal To) "A",COLUMN($D7:$N7))))=3)=TRUE, "Contact Parent/Guardian","")
** in order to write "not equal to" in Excel, you can use opening and closing angled brackets.
$D7:$N7 : The range which may contain the value I am looking for. In my case, I am looking to fin when the value ‘A’ occurs three or more times, and the attendance is taken in the range $D7:$N7
A : I am looking to see if a student is absent three or more times in a row. An absence is noted when a cell in the selected range contains the value ‘A’
3 : I want to be notified whenever this value occurs 3 or more times
Contact Parent/Guardian : If the condition is met, I want the cells which contain this formula to return this text.
**The highlighted parts are those which must be modified according to your Excel file.
