Default most frequently occurring value

Assuming that the numbers are in A2:A200

B2: = A1
B3: enter

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(0,COUNTIF(B$2:B2,$A$2:$A$200&"") ,0)),"",
INDEX(IF(ISBLANK($A$2:$A$200),"",$A$2:$A$200),MATC H(0,COUNTIF(B$2:B2,$A$2:$A
$200&""),0)))

as an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter

Copy this as far down column B as you think you might have unique values in
column A

Select C2:Cn, where n is the number of uniques previously estimate (I have
estimated down to 10 for this exercise), and then in the formula bar enter
this formula

=IF($B$2:$B$10<"",FREQUENCY($A$2:$A$200,$B$2:$B$1 0),"")

again an array formula, committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
