Discover QUARTILE.EXC - A favored statistical function in Excel.
Overview: QUARTILE.EXC calculates dataset quartiles excluding the 0th and 1st percentiles, available from Excel 2010.
Syntax: QUARTILE.EXC(array, quart)
Parameters Explained:
- array: Required. The range or array containing values for quartile calculation.
- quart: Required. Quartile to return (1, 2, or 3). Other values yield an error.
Note:
- Non-integer quart values are truncated to integers.
- An empty array results in a #NUM! error.
- Quart values outside 1 to 3 (≥ 4 or ≤ 0) return a #NUM! error.
- MIN, MAX, and MEDIAN functions return values equivalent to QUARTILE.EXC for quart = 0, 4, and 2 respectively.
Example:
Identify quartile positions as outlined:
- For the first quartile, use formula: =QUARTILE.EXC(D6:J6,D7)
- Press Enter for the first quartile result.
- For the sixth quartile, input formula: =QUARTILE.EXC(D6:J6,4) and press Enter to get the result:
The function returns an error #NUM! because quart value = 6 exceeds the valid range of 1 to 3.
This concludes the guide with specific examples for using the QUARTILE.EXC function in Excel.
Wishing you success!
