It looks like Domo supports 'Median' function but I tried to use 'Mode' to find the mode of a value in my dataset and it kicked back this error: Calculation Error : This calculation is using a nonexistent function.

    No, there is no Mode function. You could potentially calculate it with a group by to count the number of values and then use rank & window to rank them by count and then filter to where rank equals 1.

    Agree with @MarkSnodgrass. To clarify you'd need to do this within a Magic ETL dataflow as a beast mode on a card won't support the multiple aggregations that would be needed.
