Returns the value at a given percentile of a dataset.

Sample Usage

Syntax

PERCENTILE(data, percentile)

  • data - The array or range containing the dataset to consider.
  • percentile - The percentile whose value within data will be calculated and returned.

Notes

  • The value returned by PERCENTILE is not necessarily a member of data as this function interpolates between values to calculate the alpha percentile.
  • The 50th percentile, that is setting percentile to 0.5 is equivalent to using MEDIAN with the same dataset.
