    Hello harwood66,

     

    Assuming a loss equates to negative points and assuming your table starts in A1, then in D3 place the following:

    =IF(C3<C2,D2+1,0)

    Copy the formula down to the bottom of your list. Next, copy row D (Ctrl + C) and paste values (Ctrl + V, Ctrl, V). Finally, sort column D from largest to smallest. At the top you will see longest losing streak.
