Default #N/A in mode worksheet function

I tried your group/list of numbers and MODE returned 7379 as expected.
Looking at EXCEL's internal help "If the data set contains no duplicate data
points, MODE returns the #N/A error value." I tested this on your list of
number and deleting the duplicate 7379 resulted in 7372. When I deleted the
duplicate 7372, I got the #N/A.

Can anyone telle me when #N/A occurs as the answer to an worksheet
function?

If I try to find the mode of the list of codes below, I get #N/A

7372
7379
7379
7379
7372
7375

Does this have anything to do with the first two digits being equal?
How do I workaround? I am trying to find the most frequent ocurring
code in the list. By the way, how does the mode work if out of 4
values, both pairs of two are equal?

Thanx!
