=INDEX(rng,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(rng,rng)),COUNTIF(rng ,rng),0))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

Hi again meegan,

You may enter the formula anywhere w/in the spreadsheet except the column
containing the data.

the your_column previously mentioned in the formula means you have to select
the range containing the data

Hope this helps! :)

Bob's formula...

=INDEX(C1:C57,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(C1:C57,C1:C57)),CO UNTIF(C1:C57,C1:C57),0)
)

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Raymund's formula...

=MODE(C1:C57)

....confirmed with just ENTER.

Note that MODE will return #N/A when no number occurs more than once.
Also, what if there's more than one number occurring most often?

Hi!

For multimodal data, we can use the FREQUENCY function instead. As per
example if data is in C1:C57, we can select the output range as D1:D57 then
enter the ff as an array formula (using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):

=FREQUENCY(C1:C57,C1:C57)

From there we can determine the number of occurences for each value.

Hope this helps!
