Mode - chart function

Mode() finds the most commonly-occurring value, the mode value, in the aggregated data. The Mode() function can process text values as well as numeric values.

Syntax:  

Mode([{SetExpression}] [TOTAL [<fld {,fld}>]] expr)

Return data type: dual

Arguments:  

• expr: The expression or field containing the data to be measured.
• SetExpression: By default, the aggregation function will aggregate over the set of possible records defined by the selection. An alternative set of records can be defined by a set analysis expression.
• TOTAL: If the word TOTAL occurs before the function arguments, the calculation is made over all possible values given the current selections, and not just those that pertain to the current dimensional value, that is, it disregards the chart dimensions. The TOTAL qualifier may be followed by a list of one or more field names within angle brackets <fld>. These field names should be a subset of the chart dimension variables.
