How to generate a sequence with 3 consecutives 1's and 3 consecutives 0's based on a table?
I've already got a formula, it's almost efficient Needs minor correction. I've attached a sample file. It's self explanatory. PeterBartholomew1 SergeiBaklan

I would recommend sticking with integers for this type of calculation in order to avoid rounding error problems altogether. In particular, the integer divide function QUOTIENT can be valuable when you want to group values.
= LET( k, SEQUENCE(1,COLUMNS(Recipe),2), MOD(QUOTIENT(k,3),2) )
Normally 'k' should be a zero-based index but here you want a two cell offset with only one opening zero.

Nishkarsh31 Suspected it to a rounding issue. Your formula included a factor 0.33. Changed it to ⅓. Then it seems to work.

It did solve it. However 1/3 is also calculated as 0.333333333333333
Won't it also create problem, after a particular no. of columns?
