=MODE.SNGL(number1,[number2],...)- number1 - A number or cell reference that refers to numeric values.
- number2 - [optional] A number or cell reference that refers to numeric values.
How to use
The MODE.SNGL function returns the most frequently occurring number in a set of numeric data. If supplied data does not contain any duplicate numbers, the MODE.SNGL function returns a #N/A error.
The MODE.SNGL function takes multiple arguments in the form number1, number2, number3, etc. Arguments can be a hardcoded constant, a cell reference, or a range, in any combination. MODE.SNGL ignores empty cells, text values, and the logical values TRUE and FALSE. The MODE function will accept up to 254 separate arguments.
Examples
In the example shown, the formula in D5 is:
=MODE.SNGL(B5:B14) // returns 95
MODE.SNGL returns the most frequently occurring number in supplied data. For example,
=MODE.SNGL(1,2,4,4,5,5,5,6) // returns 5
=MODE.SNGL(7,8,9,7,9) // returns 7
If there are no duplicate numbers, the MODE function returns the #N/A error:
=MODE.SNGL(7,9,6,5,3,1,0) // returns #N/A
Note: MODE will return a single value even when there are multiple modes, to return a list of all modes, see the MODE.MULT function
