Imagine you have a table of data with multiple columns like this...
Column
A |
B |
C |
A |
B |
C |
A |
A |
A |
B |
B |
C |
...and you wish to figure out what value occurs most often in that column. You can use a measure like this:
Mode = VAR myTable = SUMMARIZE(Table,Table[Column],"Count",COUNT(Table[Column])) VAR myTable2 = FILTER(myTable,[Count]=MAXX(myTable,[Count])) VAR Mode1 = MAXX(LASTNONBLANK(myTable2,[Column]),[Column]) RETURN Mode1
This quick measure would take as input a column in which to calculate the mode.
