Syntax:
QUARTILE.EXC(Range, n)
Description:
Returns one of the quartiles of a data set, based on a percentile range between 0 to 1 (exclusive).
Range is a range with numerical data – usually a reference to a cell range in which numbers to be evaluated are entered.
n determines which quartile to return. The following values are permissible:
0: The minimum
1: The 1st quartile (25th percentile)
2: The 2nd quartile (50th percentile or median)
3: The 3rd quartile (75th percentile)
4: The maximum
If n is < 0 or > 4, a #NUM! error value will be returned.
Example:
If A1:A9 contain the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9:
QUARTILE.EXC(A1:A9, 3) is equivalent to PERCENTILE.EXC(A1:A9, 0.75), which returns 7.5
Note:
The QUARTILE.EXC function supplements together with QUARTILE.INC the previous QUARTILE function.
QUARTILE.INC returns the same result as QUARTILE (values 0 to 1 inclusive).
QUARTILE.EXC (values 0 to 1 exclusive) is completely new.
Compatibility notes:
Microsoft Excel supports this function only in version 2010 or later. In older versions, the function is unknown.
