Formulas / PERCENTILE.EXCCalculate the kth percentile.
=PERCENTILE.EXC(array,k)
- array - required; data values
- k - required; value between 0 and 1 that represents the kth percentile
Examples
=PERCENTILE.EXC(range,.4)This formula will return the value at the 40th percentile of the range of data.
=PERCENTILE.EXC(range,.9)This will return the value at the 90th percentile of the range of data.
=PERCENTILE.EXC(range,80%)This will return the value at the 80th percentile of the range of data.
Summary
The PERCENTILE.EXC function allows users to calculate the kth percentile of values in a given range. The function returns the #NUM! error if the array argument is empty.
- The PERCENTILE.EXC function is used to calculate the "kth percentile" of a set of data. The kth percentile is the value below which a certain percentage of values in the data set fall. For example, if k = .4, then 40% of values are less than or equal to the calculated result. Similarly, if k = .9, then 90% of values are less than or equal to the calculated result.
