I am curious if there is a way to write a formula that will calculate the Mode of the child records' specific field value. 

For example, if I have 5 apartments and 2 have the same rent. If I wanted to get the most occuring rent value from apartments back up to the parent building.. ?

Thanks for any help.

    Notes:

    (1) Despite the mode being commonly reported as a number it is in fact a categorical measure not a numeric measure. To this point check out the Geek parent record

    (2) I did not consider the case of multiple modes but that is easy to implement once you decide how you want to report a case with multiple modes.
