I want to enter a formula in cell B1

This formula will show the MODE of the proceeding values that I specify in cell AI

E.g.

If A1=10

Then B1 will show the mode each number in a range B2:B100 that proceed a 10
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
...each number in a range B2:B100 that proceed a 10
What do you mean by a number that proceeds a 10? Since we do not know what your data looks like, perhaps if you show us examples of what is in cells B2:B100 and then explain which values are the ones that you consider as proceeding a 10, then we might be able to better help you.

I also suspect the OP means precedes.
I figured that also, but I am still unclear as to what the data layout is, so I thought it would be best for the OP to explain to us what his data looks like and exactly what part of it needs to be evaluated.

Most common number that follows a specified value in a list

This formula will show the MODE of the values in a range that follows a specified number in C1

E.g.

If C1=10

Then B1 will show the mode of numbers that follow 10 in a range B2:B10. Which would be 5.

If C1=5 then B1 would equal 4

eg
B2=10
B3=5
B4=4
B5=10
B6=1
B7=5
B8=4
B9=10
B10=5

Give this array-entered** formula a try...

=MODE(IF(B2:B9=C1,B3:B10))

**Commit this formula using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and not just Enter by itself

NOTE: When adjusting your ranges, note that both ranges contain the same number of cells but are offset from each other by one cell.
