Find the most frequently occurring word in a column if a row contains a word
Hi,

I have 6 columns, B C D E F and G. In columns C to G, I have names in no specific order. In column B I have a list of "Map" names that reoccur down the column. My question is, how would I write a function to get me the most frequently occurring map name for a specific persons name? Keeping in mind that the name could be in any of the C through G columns. So if I specify the name "Brandon" in the following example, it would return "Map 3" as the most frequent map.

Example:

following is a solution to a bit more generalized problem in that if more than one Map is the most frequent Map, I show all the Maps as a comma delimited string
