Hi,
If there are multiple max values, you will get only the first value with ?which.max().
Using dataset `a` as an example:

a <- structure(list(`1` = c("Mal", "Mahesh", "Tarak", "Pawan", "Charan", 
"Prabhas", "Arjun", "Naresh", "Nithin", "Puri"), `2` = 1:10, 
    `3` = c("Layer", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", 
    "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Director"), `4` = c(22L, 45L, 
    30L, 47L, 32L, 32L, 31L, 29L, 30L, 38L), `5` = c("M", "M", 
    "M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M"), `6` = c(100000L, 
    150000000L, 150000000L, 150000000L, 100000000L, 100000000L, 
    90000000L, 30000000L, 30000000L, 100000000L)), .Names = c("1", 
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", 
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"))

sapply(a,function(x) which.max(table(factor(x,levels=unique(x)))))
#      1.Mal         2.1     3.Actor        4.30         5.M 6.150000000 
#          1           1           2           3           1           2 

#or

 Mode <- function(x) {
   ux <- unique(x)
 which.max(tabulate(match(x,ux)))}
 sapply(a,Mode)
#1 2 3 4 5 6 
#1 1 2 3 1 2 

#If you want the index of all the max values:
 lapply(a,function(x) {h <- table(factor(x,levels=unique(x))); which(h%in% max(h))})
A.K.

How to find Mode?

h<-table(q$GENDER)
h<-which.max(h) 
I am using above code. But I have 10000 Variable Names of Data, Then How to
find (above is find at a time only one mode, I need at a time complete
dataset mode.)
Eg:1000 variable Names,500 Character names,500 Numeric Names
like(Gender,salary,occupation,age......) then how to find mode.
