How does it work?

This work the same as the MODE function. The question is why excel has introduced this new function. Actually, the MODE function only returns the single most frequently appearing number on the list. If there were two numbers with the same number of frequency, excel returns the first found the number.

  1. The MODE.SNGL function returns the first number in the array with most frequency.
