Aren't you looking for the "max of count". Max() will give the highest value in a column (field) - not the "mode" value. A simple mode on a single field:

SELECT COUNT(field) AS mode FROM table GROUP BY field ORDER BY mode DESC LIMIT 1;

Please repost with correct code formatting. Place your code into the code editor (after pressing the </> Code button).

WHat are you trying to colour? You're just printing out the hex value of the last row's 'mode' to the screen below the table.

$class = ($row['mode'] == 'good') ? 'green' : 'red';
echo "<td class='$class'>" . $row['mode'] . "</td>";

For this you need:

.green{
    color: #008000; 
}

.red{
    color: #FF0000; 
}

In your css or style tags

Indeed, you forgot to make your mysql_query there. The mysql query will get you the exact value you need.

also keep in mind, we all here recommend you at least switch to mysqli_* functions!

Hi everyone...sorry but i still can't get the Tot_Rating for the above..Below is the mysql select statement but there is error...The mode seems to take the Max(Rating2) value, not the most occurred value...Please advise...Thanks you.

SELECT COUNT(Max(Rating1),Max(Rating2)) as mode FROM progress GROUP BY (Max(Rating1),Max(Rating2)) ORDER BY mode DESC LIMIT 1;

Hi...am trying to color the Status column/field...pls advise...thanks...

diafol · Answer 6 · 2014-10-11T11:14:57+00:00

WHy are you doing this:

COUNT(Max(Rating1),Max(Rating2))

ANd:

GROUP BY (Max(Rating1),Max(Rating2))

That doesn't make any sense to me.
Why have you got two ratings fields?
What type of data is stored in both?
Are they the same?

Please give an example of output of 5 records to give us an idea of what we're looking at.

Hi...am trying to output the mode or Tot_Rating for the Max(Rating1),Max(Rating2), where Max(Rating1) is the maximum occurence from many Kra(Key result area) for Quarter 1 and Max(Rating2) is the maximum occurence from many Kra(Key result area) for Quarter 2. These Kra has many progress. Pls advise....Thank you...

Output example:

Kra Tot_Rating Status
Tutoring Good Green color column
Research Problematic Red color column
Staff Good Green color column
Cost Problematic Red color column
Admin Problematic Red color column

I meant the records in the original database tables - I am not convinced that you've got this right. Show any linked db tables too.

Sophia_1 0 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 9 · 2014-10-13T09:39:58+00:00

The Kra has many progress. Below is example of the table records:

a.Kra table
Kraid Kra
1. Tutoring
2. Research
3. Staff
4. Cost
5. Admin

b.Progress table

Progressid Quarter1 Rating1      Quarter2 Rating2      Kraid

1 1 Good 2 Good 1
2 1 Problematic 2 Problematic 1
3 1 Good 2 Good 1

The Max(Rating1) is the max occurence for Rating1 and Max(Rating2) is the max occurence for Rating2. In addition would also want to find the Tot_Rating ie mode for Max(Rating1) and Max(Rating2).

Appreciate for your advise. Thanks a lot.

diafol · Answer 10 · 2014-10-13T09:57:56+00:00

Progress table could be:

progress_id [pk]
kraid [fk]
quarter [accept tinyint 1-4]
rating [tinyint 1-2 1= good,2=prob]
