# MODE

The **MODE** function returns the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It finds the value with the highest frequency and returns only one result.

### Syntax

```javascript
MODE(number1, [number2], ...)
```

### Arguments

The MODE function syntax has the following arguments:

* number1, number2, ... - The numbers or range of values for which you want to find the most frequent value. Required.

### Example

<pre class="language-javascript"><code class="lang-javascript"><strong>MODE(10, 20, 30, 20, 40)
</strong>// returns 20
<strong>MODE(5, 8, 5, 10, 8, 5)
</strong>// returns 5
</code></pre>

You can use the **MODE** function to determine the most common value in a dataset when analyzing frequently occurring metrics such as sales, scores, or costs.

If no values are repeated, the **MODE** function returns a **#VALUE!** error.

We can also use the [**SELECT**](/planning-sheets/formula-syntax/measure-column-selection-functions/select.md) function to select a range of columns from 1 to 4 for the 'Revenue' measure (2022 Revenue - 2025 Revenue).
