Mode Using Aggregate Command

[Ramzan Afzal]

Dear Members,

 

I am trying to compute mode for the un-grouped data using Aggregate command in spss. Aggregate command in SPSS does not show any option for mode, although it shows mean, sd and other options. Is it possibly to compute mode using aggregate command?

 

I shall be grateful for any help in this regard.

 

Ramzan
