Not sure if this is possible.....

I have a column of data between P2:P100, each cell has various words in it, each on it's own line. I'm trying to find the most common value in that column but only if the cell in column B = "Destination".

I thought perhaps a MAXIF but I have no idea where to start......

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)

In R1 control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(1-($P$2:$P$10=""),IF($Q$2:$Q$10="destination",MATCH($P$2:$P$10,$P$2:$P$10,0))),ROW($P$2:$P$10)-ROW($P$2)+1))

In R2 control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(1-($P$2:$P$10=""),IF($Q$2:$Q$10="destination",MATCH($P$2:$P$10,$P$2:$P$10,0))),ROW($P$2:$P$10)-ROW($P$2)+1)=$R$1,1))

In R4 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=IF(ROWS($R$4:R4)>$R$2,"",INDEX($P$2:$P$10,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(1-($P$2:$P$10=""),IF($Q$2:$Q$10="destination",MATCH($P$2:$P$10,$P$2:$P$10,0))),ROW($P$2:$P$10)-ROW($P$2)+1)=$R$1,ROW($P$2:$P$10)-ROW($P$2)+1),ROWS($R$4:R4))))
