The following article introduces you to the MODE.SNGL function - one of the functions in the group of statistical functions that is very popular in Excel.
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:
- In the cell to calculate enter the formula : = MODE.SNGL (D6: D15)
- Press Enter -> the most common value is:
- Where the most common number of values overlaps -> the function returns the value that appears first:
- In this example, the values 5, 4, 3 are the values with the most and the same number of occurrences in the data table, but the value 5 appears first -> the function returns the value 5.
- In case the array does not contain a repeating value -> the function returns the # N / A error value
Above are instructions and some specific examples when using MODE.SNGL function in Excel.
Good luck!
