I am trying to display the 5 most commonly appearing text values in a column in Google Sheets.
The following will give me the most common value in column A:
=ArrayFormula(INDEX(A:A,MODE(MATCH(A:A,A:A,0))))
And this will give me the second most common value in column A, assuming that the formula above is in cell G2 (whose result is being excluded):
=ArrayFormula(INDEX(A:A,MODE(IF(A:A<>G2,MATCH(A:A,A:A,0)))))
How can I get the third, fourth, fifth, etc most common values? Something like this does not work:
=ArrayFormula(INDEX(A:A,MODE(IF(A:A<>G2:G3,MATCH(A:A,A:A,0)))))
Basically, I need to exclude multiple values from that calculation. Any ideas?
