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.
