    Mode Help

    Hi!

    I have a column of dates in this format: 1/1/2017. I need to find the most commonly occurring month in the list and have the result displayed as the full name of the most commonly occurring month (e.g. January). I need this all in one formula. Thank you!

    Try this formula entered as an Array

    =MODE(MONTH(B1:B10))

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    This is an array formula. After typing in the formula, do not hit ENTER, instead hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. You have done it correctly if the formula in the formula box has {braces} around it. You cannot type in the braces; they are just an indicator that it is an array formula.

    Change A1:A7 to your actual range.

    Yep, I missed the part about returning it as the full month name.

    Try
    =TEXT(MODE(MONTH(B1:B10))*29,"mmmm")
