Calculating modes

What is the best way to calculate the mode (central tendency measure) from an unpivoted column of numerical data (e.g., Likert response values) in Power BI?

 

Thanks,

 

Russ

@russm perhaps the solution offered on this article.

 

Mode :=
MINX (
    TOPN (
        1,
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            VALUES ( Data[Value] ),
            "Frequency", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Data[Value] ) )
        ),
        [Frequency],
        0
    ),
    Data[Value]
)
