Description: The function returns the most frequent value, or the most repeated value in an array or data range. Support functions from Excel 2010 onwards.

Syntax: MODE.SNGL (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 most common value among the values ​​in the data table below:
