    most common value in a list

    Hi,

    This should be a simple formula but for the life of me I cannot remember how it's done something about Countif?

    Re: most common value in a list

    Are the values numbers or text?

    Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    For numeric only, this will find the most common in range A1:A10

    For text or mixed text and numbers, but with no blanks.

    If there are blanks you can use this formula.

    Depending on the version of Excel it's being used in, this last one may need to be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

    Change the range to suit your data.
