Sample Usage

Syntax

PERCENTRANK(data, value, [significant_digits])

  • data - The array or range containing the dataset to consider.
  • value - The value whose percentage rank will be determined.
  • significant_digits - [ OPTIONAL - 3 by default ] - The number of significant figures to use in the calculation.
