Hi,

I want to find out the most frequently occurring value for the below
example. Based on the example below I want to know Column A = Sales, Column
B = s682, which value is the most frequently occurred.

Column A: Column B: Column C:
Sales s682 4
Sales s681 1
Marketing s683 5
Sales s682 4
Finance s682 4
Sales s683 5
Sales s682 2

Thanks,

Mode
 

With the data in the example, you may use the following array formula for the
column A data:
=INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(A1:A7,A1:A7)),COUNT IF(A1:A7,A1:A7),0))
Enter it with CRTL+SHIFT+ENTER, and changes ranges as appropiate.

Hope this helps,
Miguel

You could do this rather easily with Pivot tables or by extracting the unique
values in each column and using Countif() formulas

To calc with pivot tables, start by making sure each column has a text label
as a header, then select one of the data cells and use Data-Pivot table...
Click on the Finish button and in the new sheet that appears drag the column
header for col A onto the Row Fields area, then drag the same column header
into the Data area

If you're asking for the most frquently occurring number in column C
when column A is "sales" and column B is s682, i.e. the answer is 4 in
your example then you can use this formula

=MODE(IF((A1:A10="sales")*(B1:B10="s682"),C1:C10))

confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

adjust ranges as necessary

I used the below formula, and got N/A as a result? Not sure where it went
wrong.

=MODE(IF(('ES 0421'!$A$2:$A$295=A6)*('ES 0421'!$X$2:$X$295=B6),'ES
0421'!$Q$2:$Q$295))

Do you have #N/A anywhere within your ranges?

Either that or you haven't confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

What are you expecting the answer to be?

Note that the values in Q2:Q295 need to be numeric

Mode will give you #N/A if Q2:Q295 does not contain any duplicate
numbers where the two conditions are satisfied for columns A and X,
e.g. amending your original example:

For this data

Column A: Column B: Column C:
Sales s682 3
Sales s681 1
Marketing s683 5
Sales s682 4
Finance s682 4
Sales s683 5
Sales s682 2

This formula

=MODE(IF((A1:A10="sales")*(B1:B10="s682"),C1:C10))

confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

will return #N/A because

=MODE({3,4,2}) has no duplicate numbers

Is there anyway I can get around that?

You could make it show something else other than #N/A, e.g.

=IF(ISNA(MODE(IF((A1:A10="sales")*(B1:B10="s682"), C1:C10))),"No
duplicate values",MODE(IF((A1:A10="sales")*(B1:B10="s682"),C 1:C10)))
