MODESNGL

Returns the single most frequently occurring value in a dataset. When multiple numbers appear frequently, it returns the first mode.

The MODESNGL function works similarly to the MODE function and returns the single most frequently occurring value in a dataset. When multiple values are repeated, it returns the first number that appears the most frequently.

Syntax

MODESNGL(number1, [number2], ...)

Arguments

The MODESNGL function syntax has the following arguments:

• number1, number2, ... - The numbers or range of values for which you want to find the most frequent value.

Example

MODESNGL(10, 20, 30, 20, 40)
// returns 20
MODESNGL(5, 8, 5, 10, 8, 5, 8)
// returns 5

If multiple values share the highest frequency, the function returns the first one encountered.

You can use the MODESNGL function to determine the most common value in a dataset when analyzing frequently occurring metrics such as sales, scores, or costs.

If no values are repeated, the MODESNGL function returns a #VALUE! error.
