Returns value nearest to a given quartile of a dataset, exclusive of 0 and 4. Learn more.
In Google Sheets, the function QUARTILE.EXC is used to calculate the exclusive quartile value from a given dataset.
It returns the specified quartile value from a range of numeric values, excluding the quartile value itself from the calculation.
The QUARTILE.EXC function takes two arguments:
data: This is the range of data from which you want to calculate the quartile. It can be a single column or row, or a combination of multiple columns or rows.
quartile_number: This is a numeric value representing the quartile you want to calculate. It can be a value between 0 and 4, inclusive. Here's what each quartile number represents:
Quartile 0: Minimum value
Quartile 1: First quartile (25th percentile)
Quartile 2: Median (50th percentile)
Quartile 3: Third quartile (75th percentile)
Quartile 4: Maximum value
Here's an example of how you can use the QUARTILE.EXC function in Google Sheets:
=QUARTILE.EXC(A1:A10, 2)
This formula calculates the median (second quartile) from the range A1 to A10.
Note that the EXC in QUARTILE.EXC stands for "exclusive." It means that the quartile value itself is not included in the calculation. If you want to include the quartile value, you can use the QUARTILE.INC function instead.
