MODE

This function returns the most frequently occurring value in a set of data.

Syntax

MODE(number1,[number2],...)

Arguments

This function has these arguments:

Argument	Description
Number1	[Required] The first number argument for which you want to calculate the mode.
Number2,...	[Optional] Number arguments 2 to 255 for which you want to calculate the mode. You can also use a single array or a reference to an array instead of arguments separated by commas.

Remarks

If no value occurs more than once, the function does not return a value. If more than one value occurs the same number of times, the function returns the first value that repeats that same number of times.

If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, the function ignores those values; however, the function includes cells with the value zero in calculations.

Examples

MODE(A3,B3,C3,D3)

MODE(A1:A9)

MODE(R1C2,12,10,R2C3)

MODE(A2:A9,B2:B9,B12:35)

MODE(89,95,88,97,88,74) gives the result 88.

MODE(1,2,2,3,4,5,5) gives the result 2.
