Hi Guys,

Im also doing something similar to this and i notice that this array uses
the "MAX" function .. is there any way to adapt this array to find the 2nd
most common and 3rd most common ? .. the same way in which you would use
the
"LARGE" function ?

One way - assume your data is in A1:A9

=INDEX(A1:A9,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(A1:A9,A1:A9)),COUNT IF(A1:A9,A1:A9),0))

array entered w/Cntrl+Shift+Enter (or you'll likely get an error).
