Hi all as i want to ignore the word "undelivered" when searching for the most common word

what i have is - =MODE(IF(A6:A1000<>unknown,A6:A1000)) (array formula)

it says #Name as a result

TIA
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
.
I'm not very good with formulas but does this work for your needs ?

=MODE(IF(A6:A1000<>"unknown",A6:A1000))

thank you so much it worked.... BUT new prob it returns blank cell as it is taking cells with formula into consideration.
my question now s how do i ignore the blank cells with formula?

I don't see how that could work, as MODE requires numbers and you mention "words", "undelivered", and/or "unknown" in your problem description.

Would you post a 10 row fake sample with undelivered/unknown included along with the desired result or results?
