Excerpt

Computes the mode (most frequent value) from all row values in a column, according to their grouping. Input column can be of Integer, Decimal, or

...

Datetime type.

...

  • If a row contains a missing or null value, it is not factored into the calculation. If the entire column contains no values, the function returns a null value.
  • If there is a tie in which the most occurrences of a value is shared between values, then no value the lowest value of the evaluated set is returned from the function.
  • When used in a pivot  transform transform, the function is computed for each instance of the value specified in the group parameter.  See See Pivot Transform.

For a version of this function computed over a rolling window of rows, see ROLLINGMODE , see ROLLINGMODE Function.

Datetime inputs to this function return Unixtime values.
