Calculating the mode of a criteria-based range

I have two columns of data. I want to calculate the mode of some cells in the
first column - including only those cells whose corresponding cell in the
second column has a value greater than 10.

For example:
2 | 20
1 | 11
2 | 8
1 | 16
2 |3
Would return MODE(2,1,1) = 1.

How do I pass the MODE() function only the criteria-filtered cells?

Thanks!

Use AutoFilter:

Say A1 thru B6 contain:

V CRT
2 20
1 11
2 8
1 16
2 3

Click on B1 and:

Data Filter Autofilter Custom is greater than 10
this will produce:

V CRT
2 20
1 11
1 16

Copy and paste this to, say H16 and then =MODE(H16:H100) will get you what
you want.

Try this array formula** :

=MODE(IF(B1:B510,A1:A5))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

Unfortunately, rows are being added to the sheet all the time - I'd rather
not have to filter, copy & paste every time new ones are added. Isn't there a
way to do it so that I can keep a running mode?

That did exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I have found this help useful, however I'm not quite getting this to work as
expected. I can get this to work with the example below, however my file is
using database controls used in other DCOUNT functions. For the criteria,
I'd like to point it to the controls, which are based on a larger set of raw
data. Perhaps it would be easier to reference my spreadsheet if I send to
you? Please let me know if I can email you. Thank you very much.

There is no "DMODE" function.

If you want to use the MODE() function and reference the criteria range
that's used by other D functions the criteria would have to be values only
and not contain any operators. (although you could probably remove any
operators within the formula but that just adds [undue] complexity.

Thank you. I wish there were more Dxxx functions!
My problem (I think) is how do I reference the criteria range in the IF
statement's Logical Test, if I work with your array function below? I'm
having difficulty translating the array function below to my criteria range
and raw data.
