Default The mode function

Can't figure out why it still returns a #N/A for the answer.
The N/A's are hidden because they are filtered out of the table, but the
mode function keeps saying they are there...
Any more suggestions?

Thank you!

I can't figure out how to put the ISNA in this formula to avoid getting a
#N/A value
This works accept when there is an #N/A in the range.
=INDEX(S3:S1000,MODE(MATCH(S3:S1000,S3:S1000,0)))

This array formula:

=INDEX(A1:A20&"",MODE(MATCH(A1:A20&"",A1:A20&"",0) ))

will work if there are empty cells in A1:A20, too.

I looked up the capability of the mode function and it said that the only
time it should return an #N/A value is when there are not two names, or
numbers in a range. I am not sure why but for the given stock market sectors,
the function below always returns a #N/A when it should return in this case
the name finance. Any suggestions?
