[mso] Excel MODE Function- Ties?

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
