Default Countif, Maxa or other function?

Hi all,

I'm having a column with text items.
I'm looking for a function which shows the text value that is most
represented in the specific colomn.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, JacobK.

If there are no blank cells in the range

=INDEX(A2:A50,MODE(MATCH(A2:A50,A2:A50,0)))

if there can be blanks

=INDEX(A2:A50,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(A2:A50,A2:A50)),CO UNTIF(A2:A50,A2:A50),0))

both entered with ctrl + shift & enter
