count only clustered elements

Hello Community!

 

I need to count only elements next to each other an not the single elements:

12345678910Result
xx x  xxx 5
xxxx xx  x6
  x  x  x 0
 xx  x x  2

Any help is appreciated,

best Michael

@lbendlin The idea with GroupKind.Local to group only consecutive rows is very nice and smart, thanks!

@p45cal had it first here, but it originated with @ImkeF who also uncovered the secrets of the fifth parameter.
