this formula is working fine up to 20 but i need it to go to 100 but sometimes here is more blanks than results
=INDEX($A$5:$A$20,MODE(MATCH($A$5:$A$20,$A$5:$A$20,0)))
how do i get excel to ignore the blanks and give the expected result?

Exactly the same issue is currently being discussed here: https://www.excelforum.com/excel-for...ber-error.html
I would not normally suggest you hijack another thread, but in this particular case, as this is coincidentally an almost identical request, you might want to look in there.

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).
1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!
4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Got the correct fix from here https://www.excelforum.com/excel-for...ber-error.html thank youo AliGW i used this but changed what i need from this
=INDEX(C5:C5000,0,MODE(IF(C5:C5000<>"",MATCH(C5:C5000,C5:C5000,0))))
to this
=INDEX($A$5:$A$100,1,MODE(IF(A5:A100<>"",MATCH($A$5:$A$100,$A$5:$A$100,0))))
this was the original i posted
=INDEX($A$5:$A$20,MODE(MATCH($A$5:$A$20,$A$5:$A$20,0)))
than you all for your help
or maybe this one normal entered:
=INDEX($A$5:$A$2o,MODE(MATCH($A$5:$A$2o,NOT(ISBLANK($A$5:$A$2o))*$A$5:$A$2o,0)))
change o to 0
You're welcome!
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
or =INDEX($A$5:$A$100,MODE(IF(A5:A100<>"",MATCH($A$5:$A$100,$A$5:$A$100,0))),) (CSE)
