How to use MODE

MODE is kept so older workbooks keep working. It calculates the same way as MODE.SNGL, which is the name to use in new formulas.

MODE takes 1 required argument and 1 optional argument, and accepts more values in the same pattern. Type =MODE( in a cell and SheetsBat shows the arguments as you go. Optional arguments are shown in square brackets; leave them out to use their default.
