    Hi,
     
    see whether this helps !
     
     
    Flow design 
     
    1. I have used initialize variable to initialize an array variable 
     
    2. Use the following json structure to enclose array variable in json format (for xml operations)
     
    3. use following select action which helps to get count of each element along with name as their property in json array
     
    Expression used - 
    union(variables('Arr1'),variables('Arr1'))
     
     
     
    Expression - 
    xpath(xml(outputs('Compose')),concat('count(//data[text()="',item(),'"])'))
     
    4. use select action to get count property
     
    5. use filter array to get the list of values which have highest count
     
     
     
    See the result of filter array action which gives the names and their count which have maximum occurences
     
    Hope it helps !
    Thanks & Regards,

    Since you posted the question in the AI Builder Forum, I suggest to try custom prompt to group the records by count.
