PERCENTRANK.INC function

PRO BASIC

The PERCENTRANK.INC function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a handy tool that allows you to determine the relative standing of a specific value within a given set of data. It does this by providing the rank of the value as a percentage, ranging from 0 to 1, inclusive. This means that a result of 0 indicates the lowest value in the set, while a result of 1 signifies the highest. This function can be incredibly useful when you need to understand the position of a specific value in relation to the rest of the data set.

Documentation

Returns the rank of a value in a data set as a percentage (0..1, inclusive) of the data set.

Category

Statistical

Syntax

PERCENTRANK.INC(array, x, [significance])

Parameter Description
array The array or range of data that defines relative standing.
x The value for which you want to know the rank.
[significance] Optional. The number of significant digits for the returned percentage value. Defaults to 3.

Behavior

The PERCENTRANK.INC function calculates the percentage rank (0..1, inclusive) of a specified value in a dataset. The function examines the entire dataset and determines where the specified value falls within that set in terms of percentage.

Here are some specific behaviors to note:

  • Empty cells: These are ignored by PERCENTRANK.INC.
  • Text: If the dataset contains text, PERCENTRANK.INC will return an error.
  • Booleans: Boolean values are treated as numbers. Therefore, TRUE is regarded as 1 and FALSE as 0.
  • Errors: If the dataset contains error values, PERCENTRANK.INC will also return an error.
  • Non-numeric value: If the input value is non-numeric, PERCENTRANK.INC will return an error.
  • Single value in array: If the array contains only one value, PERCENTRANK.INC will return an error. The function requires at least two data points to calculate a percentage rank.

Common Errors

Error Description
#DIV/0! Occurs when the function tries to divide by zero, which might happen if the array contains only one value.
#VALUE! Occurs when the input value or values in the array are non-numeric or the array contains text.
#N/A Occurs when the specified value cannot be interpolated or falls outside the dataset range.

Best practices

  • Ensure that the dataset only contains numeric values as PERCENTRANK.INC cannot handle text or boolean values.
  • Avoid including error values in the dataset as it will cause the function to return an error.
  • Use a large enough dataset. Since PERCENTRANK.INC calculates a percentage rank, a dataset with only a few values may not yield meaningful results.
  • Always double-check your input value to ensure it exists within the dataset. If it doesn't, the function will return an error.

Usage

A few examples using the PERCENTRANK.INC function.

PERCENTRANK.INC(A1:A10,B1) returns the rank of the value in B1 as a percentage of the values in A1 through A10  
PERCENTRANK.INC(C1:C5,20,2) returns the rank of the value 20 in the range C1 through C5 as a percentage with 2 significant digits  
PERCENTRANK.INC(D1:D100,50) returns the rank of the value 50 in the range D1 through D100 as a percentage
