Mode Calculator
Mode is evaluated from Number 1, Number 2 and Number 3. The calculation reports Mode, Modal Frequency and Distribution Type.

About the Mode Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
Count frequency of each value. Mode = value(s) with highest frequency.
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: Count frequency of each value. Mode = value(s) with highest frequency. Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Test scores: 85, 92, 85, 78, 92, 85, 95, 72
Inputs
With Number 1 = 85, Number 2 = 92, Number 3 = 85 and Number 4 = 78 as the stated inputs, the result is Modal Frequency = 3 times and Distribution Type = Multimodal (0 modes). Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 2: Shoe sizes sold: 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 11, 9, 8, 10, 12
Inputs
With Number 1 = 8, Number 2 = 9, Number 3 = 10 and Number 4 = 9 as the stated inputs, the result is Modal Frequency = 3 times and Distribution Type = Multimodal (0 modes). Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 3: Family size survey: 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 5, 3, 2, 1
Inputs
With Number 1 = 2, Number 2 = 3, Number 3 = 2 and Number 4 = 4 as the stated inputs, the result is Modal Frequency = 4 times and Distribution Type = Multimodal (0 modes). Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 4: All unique values: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
Inputs
With Number 1 = 10, Number 2 = 20, Number 3 = 30 and Number 4 = 40 as the stated inputs, the result is Modal Frequency = 6 times and Distribution Type = Multimodal (0 modes). Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Common Use Cases
