Calculating mode measure in dax but display no mode when there is a tie

Hi, I have looked through some of the solutions of creating mode measures in dax, specifically when it comes to breaking a tie when there is more than 1 mode value.  My question is, does it always require a tie breaker (Either min or max value)? Interested in knowing how to display "No mode" if I don't want to break the tie.

 

 

Mode :=
MINX (
    TOPN (
        1,
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            VALUES ( Data[Value] ),
            "Frequency", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Data[Value] ) )
        ),
        [Frequency],
        0
    ),
    Data[Value]
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. Do you want to return blank when multiple values rank as 1? If so, please try the following measure.

 

Mode = 
VAR tab =
    TOPN (
        1,
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            VALUES ( Data[Value] ),
            "Frequency", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Data[Value] ) )
        ),
        [Frequency], 0
    )
RETURN
    IF ( COUNTROWS ( tab ) > 1, BLANK (), MINX ( tab, Data[Value] ) )
