The following article introduces you to the MODE.MULT function - one of the functions in the statistical function group is very popular in Excel.
Description: The function returns a vertical array of the most frequently occurring values, or repeating values in an array or data range. Support functions from Excel 2010 onwards.
Syntax: MODE.MULT ((number1, [number2], .)
Inside:
- number1, [number2], .): The values that you want to find the median, where number1 is the required parameter, other values are optional and contain up to 254 number parameters .
Attention:
- The value of the argument must be a number, name, array or reference containing numbers.
- Arguments that are text or error values cannot be converted to a numeric type -> cause the function to cause an error .
- If the argument is a reference array containing text values or logic -> these values are ignored, but the value 0 is still counted.
- If the data set does not contain repeating data -> the function returns the # N / A error value .
For example:
Find the vertical array containing the most common values in the following data table:
- In the cell to calculate enter the formula : = MODE.MULT (D6: D14)
- Press Enter -> the value is:
- Because the result is an array, the function must be entered as an array formula -> Highlight the data area containing the array to be returned -> press F2:
- Press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Enter -> vertical array containing the most common values are:
Here, because the number of elements in the array is less than the number of array elements of my choice, the value # N / A is returned .
- Where the number of array elements returned matches the expected number of array elements -> the returned array does not contain an error value.
Above are instructions and some specific examples when using MODE.MULT function in Excel.
