    Lightbulb Formula to Display Top 10 Most Frequent Results - Skipping Gaps and Duplicates - Text

    Example File:
    Monthly Stats Example.xlsx

    Hi,

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I have been asked to produce a stat sheet for my company and have come across an issue trying to generate the top 10 most frequent results in a list.

    I am looking to do this as a function rather than a pivot table as this is the way I have set the rest of the data to update.

    I have searched around and seen some various examples, some that kinda work, some I can't get working and some I'm not even sure how to implement!

    The closest I have got is with using the following code:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    The data is found in column F and has a series of repeating data which I need to find the 10 most frequent. For client confidentiality I have had to remove this data and replace it with data from another column for the attached example.

    With the code used above I am getting duplicates, such as:

    Question Response
    Question Response
    Question Response
    Client Requests
    Question Response
    Equipment Sent
    Question Response
    Configuration
    Equipment Sent
    Customer Error

    I also need the code to skip any missing information, as this is possible to occur and the removal of just one cell will result in the code erroring.

    I have attached a broken down example of how far I have got.

    I am not looking for someone to do the work for me, but am simply lost and stuck and need pointing in the direction and I have always found responses on this site very useful.

    Thank you in advance for any help given.

    Regards, James

    Forum rules suggest waiting about 24 hrs before bumping - Thx

    So I have got a little bit further, using the following code I have managed to generate the second most popular and below allowing for gaps in my data.

    However to extract the most popular result I am using:

    This code errors when there are blanks in it's results (hence the $F$648 rather than $F$5000)
    I am trying to add the if statement from the first code but this either errors or gives me the results for the second most popular result.

    Am I being really stupid here and missing something obvious?
