Looking for excel function that returns the most frequent text result in column J, only if the workplan category (column I), matches the column A.

ex. "Business Office" (A2), the result in B2 would display "Omitted charges" as it is the most frequent text in column J for that workplan category. (Omitted charges 4x), (Data entry error 2x).
I have been trying to use index/match/mode functions with no success, as well as getpivot data functions.

thanks Eric this is awesome!!! is it possible for the formula to work for the entire column J?
Ex. there are more results past row 32 and each month the file will change (~10,000 rows, etc) so wondering if there is a formula that will capture the entire column. i tried this and unfortunately if i update that J2:J32 to J:J this will read all the blank values in the column for the mode.

i also noticed that i may have to include an IFERROR portion for those results where the MODE formula returns an error as there is only one result?

In theory, you could use whole column references, but I wouldn't recommend it. Even with 10,000 rows, that's less than 1% of a column, and checking the entire column would slow down the calculations to a noticeable extent. I'd recommend creating a formula to find the last row, then using that in the main formula. Like this:

I used a Named Range, but there are other ways to do this. I added the IFERROR in case of a single matching row, but you'll still get the #N/A error for no matches.

thank you very much Eric, i think this is getting very close to what I am looking for. Im trying the formula without the IFERROR function, and am now getting an error for some even though there is clearly a MODE. Ex. 'LI OBOP Sample - IV Therapy' should return "IV Start/Stop time missing", but instead returns an error #N/A.
'LI OBOP Sample - Laboratory' correctly returns "omitted charges", not sure why this is? Note i transposed the formula to use the same columns in different locations, and also created a separate key to vlookup.

=INDEX('Raw Data'!$AE$2:INDEX('Raw Data'!$AE:$AE,Key!$D$4),MODE(IF('Raw Data'!$AN$2:INDEX('Raw Data'!$AN:$AN,Key!$D$4)=Sheet32!C22,MATCH('Raw Data'!$AE$2:INDEX('Raw Data'!$AE:$AE,Key!$D$4),'Raw Data'!$AE$2:INDEX('Raw Data'!$AE:$AE,Key!$D$4,0)))))

Looking at your data, I don't see anything that would cause your issue. My best guess would be that the keys don't match. A trailing space that you can't see, or some undisplayable character. In order to troubleshoot this, are you able to use the xl2bb add-in? This will allow you to copy your exact data (like I did in posts 2 and 5) so that I can copy it directly to my Excel and work with it. When I look at a picture like you've shown, it's easy to miss something. Look at the link in my signature, or in the reply box. It's easy to download, install, and use.
