Read the original article
Hit count: 234
For this example data:
Index, State, Food
1, CA, Hamburger
2, NY, Lettuce
3, CA, Cheese
4, NY, Lettuce
5, NY, Cheese
6, AR, Cheese
I would like to group by State and show the most common food for each state. So the result for the example should be:
State, Popular Food
CA, Hamburger
NY, Lettuce
AR, Cheese
The problem is I can't find an aggregation that would return the most common string. There is the 'mode' function but it only works on integers. Am I missing Something? Thanks!
