can it give me the most frequent value rather than me having to do three
separate counts, I actually want it to return the name of the text that
appears most.....

I have a column with the values red, amber and green.
I want to count the values and in the calculation field, show the value
which occurs most frequently.
e.g.
amber
amber
red
green
amber

the calcualtion field should return amber
