MODE.SNGL
The MODE.SNGL function returns the most frequently occurring number in a dataset. It helps identify the value that appears most often in a range of numbers.
Syntax 🔗
=MODE.SNGL(number1, [number2, ...])
number1 | number2, ..., The numeric values or cell references containing numeric values for which you want to find the mode. You can input up to 255 arguments. |
About MODE.SNGL 🔗
Use the MODE.SNGL function in Excel to find the most frequently occurring value in a range of numbers. This function helps you quickly identify the mode, enhancing your data analysis without needing manual counting or complex calculations. It simplifies your data examination and improves accuracy when determining the dominant numerical values in your dataset.
Examples 🔗
If you have a list of test scores like 85, 92, 78, 85, 90, 85, 82, you can find the mode with the formula: =MODE.SNGL(85, 92, 78, 85, 90, 85, 82). This will return 85, as it is the most frequently occurring score.
Consider another scenario with survey responses: 1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 2, 4. Use the formula =MODE.SNGL(1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 2, 4) to find the mode, which is 2, as it appears most often.
Notes 🔗
When you use the MODE.SNGL function, remember that if multiple numbers have the same highest frequency, the function will return only the first mode it finds in the dataset. Ensure you provide valid numeric values or cell references containing numeric values as arguments for accurate results.
Questions 🔗
If there are multiple numbers that occur with the same highest frequency, the MODE.SNGL function will return the first mode it encounters within the dataset.
Can the MODE.SNGL function handle non-numeric values in the dataset?No, the MODE.SNGL function is designed to work with numeric values only. If non-numeric values are included in the dataset, Excel will return a #VALUE! error.
How many arguments can be provided to the MODE.SNGL function?You can input up to 255 arguments in the MODE.SNGL function to include a range of numeric values for finding the mode.
