Assuming data in row1
Put in A2, array-enter the formula by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER:
=INDEX(1:1,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(1:1,1:1)),COUNTIF(1:1 ,1:1),0))
In the event of any ties in the max occurences,
only the "leftmost" item in row1 will be returned

Good Afternoon,
I'm having trouble trying to write a function that returns the value in a
given row that exists more than all other values in that same range. Please
see the below example.
A1 = Apple
B1 = Banana
C1 = Orange
D1 = Apple
E1 (Formula) = This cell should return Apple because Apple is listed in more
cells than all other fruits.
Thank you,
Adam
