I am using the mode function to find the most popular item from a group of choices. The category is listed in column A1:A:30, in column B I have the MODE function with range of C1:AK1. I columns C through AK are the code number for each person's favorite item (their vote). The mode function tells me which code number occurs most frequently (the winner). The problem is if there is a tie the MODE function returns the lowest number only. What I need is, at minimum, is a way to tell if there has been a tie or ideally not only that there has been a tie but which code numbers were tied. Any ideas? Thanks Anthony -- -----Anthony A.
