How can I use the PERCENTILE function in Google Sheets?

By /

The PERCENTILE function in Google Sheets allows users to calculate the value at a given percentile within a dataset. This function takes two parameters: the dataset and the desired percentile. It then returns the value at that percentile in the dataset. This function is useful for analyzing large sets of data and identifying specific data points that fall within a certain range. By utilizing the PERCENTILE function, users can easily and efficiently extract important information from their data in Google Sheets.

PERCENTILE function

Returns the value at a given percentile of a dataset.

Sample Usage

PERCENTILE(A2:A100,A2)

PERCENTILE(A2:A100,0.67)

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.
