I Have a table ( excel ) with two columns ( Time 'hh:mm:ss' , Value ) and i want to get most frequent value for each group of row.
for example i have
Time | Value
4:35:49 | 122
4:35:49 | 122
4:35:50 | 121
4:35:50 | 121
4:35:50 | 111
4:35:51 | 122
4:35:51 | 111
4:35:51 | 111
4:35:51 | 132
4:35:51 | 132
And i want to get most frequent value of each Time
Time | Value
4:35:49 | 122
4:35:50 | 121
4:35:51 | 132
Thanks in advance
UPDATE
The first answer of @scott with helper column is the correct one
See the pic
You could use a helper column:
First it will need a helper column so in C I put
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11,A2,$B$2:$B$11,B2)
Then in F2 I put the following Array Formula:
=INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(MAX(IF($A$2:$A$11=E2,IF($C$2:$C$11 = MAX(IF($A$2:$A$11=E2,$C$2:$C$11)),$B$2:$B$11))),$B$2:$B$11,0))
It is an array formula and must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Then copied down.
I set it up like this:
Here is one way to do this in MS Access:
select tv.*
from (select time, value, count(*) as cnt
from t
group by time, value
) as tv
where exists (select 1
from (select top 1 time, value, count(*) as cnt
from t as t2
where t.time = t2.time
group by time, value
order by count(*) desc, value desc
) as x
where x.time = tv.time and x.value = tv.value
);
MS Access doesn't support features such as window functions or CTEs that make this type of query easier in other databases.
Would that work? I haven't tried and got inspired here
;WITH t3 AS
(
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY time ORDER BY c DESC, value DESC) AS rn
FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) AS c, time, value FROM t GROUP BY time, value) AS t2
)
SELECT *
FROM t3
WHERE rn = 1
