True if X consecutive numbers in a cell


I'm using Excel 365 and would like to stipulate whether it is true or not that the text cell I'm looking at has x amount of consecutive numbers.
For this example, I would like to know when there is 5 consecutive numbers in the cell:

Text cell True?
AB 131 FALSE
50353 GO TRUE
A A 6 FALSE
CV90356 TRUE
TT 2041 FALSE
13190 13224 TRUE

As you can see it will return TRUE if five consective numbers appear in the cell, even if there are two lots of this sequence in the cell. What formula could I use to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • You could try using the following formula:

    enter image description here


    =MAP(A2:A7,LAMBDA(x,OR(LEN(TEXTSPLIT(x,TEXTSPLIT(x,SEQUENCE(10)-1,,1),,1))=5)))
    

    Or, as commented above:

    =OR(LEN(TEXTSPLIT(A2,TEXTSPLIT(A2,SEQUENCE(10)-1,,1),,1))=5)
    

    Or,

    =OR(LEN(IFERROR(--MID(A2,SEQUENCE(LEN(A2)),5),0))=5)
