PERCENTILE.EXC function

PRO BASIC

The PERCENTILE.EXC function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that helps you find a specific percentile in a set of data. The 'k' in this function represents the percentile value you're looking for, and it must be between 0 and 1 (not including these two values). For instance, if you need to find the 90th percentile, you would use 0.9 as your 'k' value. This function then determines the number from your data range that falls at that percentile.

Documentation

Returns the k-th percentile of values in a range, where k is in the range 0..1, exclusive.

Syntax

PERCENTILE.EXC(array, k)

Parameter	Description
`array`	The array or range of data that defines relative standing.
`k`	The percentile to return, expressed as a decimal between 0 and 1, exclusive.

Behavior

The PERCENTILE.EXC function calculates the exclusive percentile of a dataset. In terms of how it handles different types of data:

Empty cells: These are ignored by the PERCENTILE.EXC function. Only cells with numeric values are considered in the calculation.
Text: If a cell containing text is included in the range of values for the PERCENTILE.EXC function, it will return a #VALUE! error.
Booleans: Boolean values (TRUE and FALSE) are treated as 1 and 0 respectively by the PERCENTILE.EXC function.
Errors: If any cell in the range contains an error, the PERCENTILE.EXC function will return that error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
`#NUM!`	Occurs if k is ≤ 0 or ≥ 1, or if the array is too small to calculate the requested percentile.
`#VALUE!`	This error is returned when the range includes a cell containing non-numeric values, such as text.

Best Practices

Always ensure that the range of cells for the PERCENTILE.EXC function only contains numeric values to avoid the #VALUE! error.

Confirm that the input percentile is within the range of 0 to 1 (exclusive). Any value outside this range will return the #NUM! error.

When dealing with boolean values, remember that TRUE is treated as 1 and FALSE is treated as 0 by the PERCENTILE.EXC function.

Always check for errors in the dataset before applying the PERCENTILE.EXC function to avoid propagating these errors.

Usage

A few examples using the PERCENTILE.EXC function.

PERCENTILE.EXC(A1:A10,0.9) returns the value at the 90th percentile in the range A1 through A10  
PERCENTILE.EXC(B1:B5,0.8) returns the value at the 80th percentile in the range B1 through B5  
PERCENTILE.EXC(C1:C100,0.99) returns the value at the 99th percentile in the range C1 through C100
