PERCENTILE. EXC Function in Excel

This guide provides a practical overview of PERCENTILE. EXC Function, including its main features, benefits, limitations, and important considerations.

Description: The function returns the kth percentile of values in the range with k in the range from 0 to 1, excluding values 0 and 1.

Syntax: PERCENTILE. EXC (array, k)

Inside:

- array: An array or range of data to determine percentile, which is a required parameter .

- k: Percentage value in the range from 0 to 1 including 0 and 1, is a required parameter .

Attention:

- If array array value is empty -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value .

- If the value of k is not a number -> the function returns the error value #VALUE! .

- If k ? 0 or k ? 1 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

- If k is not a multiple of 1 / (n - 1) -> interpolation function to determine the kth percentile value.

- PERCENTILE. EXC function will interpolate when the percentile return value is between two values in the array. Where the function cannot be interpolated -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

For example:

Find the value of 0.56 percentile in the dataset in the data table below:

- In the cell to calculate enter the formula : = PERCENTILE. EXC (E6: K6,3)

- Press Enter -> 0.56 percentile value in the dataset in the dataset is:

- Where the percentile value k = 0 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

- Where the percentile value k> 1 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

Above are instructions and some specific examples when using PERCENTILE. EXC function in Excel.

Good luck!
