How to count how many weeks something has been in Red Status
I have a sheet where weekly status reports are being entered - a new row at the bottom each week. I would like to count the number of weeks that a projects has a Health of Red. I.e., I can see my project has a Red status this week, for how many weeks before this has it also been red?
It should be limited to only when a Red status has stayed the same consecutively - i.e., how many weeks before this has a project been red after it was changed to red most recently, NOT how many weeks before this has a project been red total out of all the weeks.

I hope you're well and safe!
You could use the Record a date action in a workflow with multiple so-called helper columns to register when it changes to red.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks for your response - I'm not sure how to then count the number of weeks that the status has been red. I only want to count the weeks in the "trend" - i.e., how many weeks has the status been only since it most recently changed to red. I don't want to count other weeks the status may have been red before the current "trend" of being red.
