Function name:
QUARTILE.EXC

Category:
Statistical Analysis

Summary:
Calculates the quartile of a set of data points. Quartiles describe the division of a data set into four intervals based on the values of the data. The lowest 25% of the values are smaller than the first or lower quartile (equivalent to the 25th percentile). The lowest 50% of the values are smaller than the second quartile and this is also known as the median (equivalent to the 50th percentile). The lowest 75% of the values are smaller than the third or upper quartile (equivalent to the 75th percentile). This function uses a percentile-based value from 0 to 1, exclusive for calculation.

Syntax:
QUARTILE.EXC(Data; Type)

Returns:
Returns a real number which is the requested quartile of the specified data set.

Arguments:
Data is an array or a reference to a range of cells representing the array of data in the sample.

Type is an integer value from the range {1,2,3} or a reference to the cell containing that number which represents the type of quartile. (1 = 25%, 2 = 50% (MEDIAN), and 3 = 75%)


 * If Type is a non-integer real number it is truncated to an integer. However, if the Type is less than 1 or greater than or equal to 4 then the function returns an error value.

Additional details:

 * Calc function MEDIAN will return the same value as QUARTILE.EXC for the value of Type equal to 2.
