    Formula to find frequency of use

    I need a formula that will tell me the day of the week used most frequently by an individual. I have an example of the worksheet. I don't think this is too terribly difficult compared to other formulas i made for this sheet but i for some reason can't figure this one out right now. Thanks for the help.

    If you change the formula in J3 and across to =WEEKDAY(J4), then in H5,

    =MODE(IF(J5:AGJ19>0, J$3:AGJ$3))

    ... confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    Did you change the formula in J3 and across?

    Did you confirm the formula in H5 with Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter?

    Note: If there is no MODE value, #N/A is returned. (e.g. if the employee used 3 days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, there is no mode)

    I didn't confirm. I got it now. Now that gives me a number which I'm assuming corresponds to a day of the week. Great thank you!

    You can format that cell as Custom using dddd and it will show you the day of week name instead of number.

    Please remember to mark this thread as Solved. Thanks!

    You don't put it in the equation. You right-click the cell and choose Format Cells. Select Custom as the category and set the Type to: dddd
