How to use QUARTILE Google Sheets formula?
What does the QUARTILE Google Sheets formula do?
QUARTILE function in Google Sheets is used to calculate quartiles from a given data set. Quartiles divide a dataset into four equal parts. This function can be used to find the value at a given quartile rank or to calculate quartile ranges.Why is QUARTILE Google Sheets formula not working?
QUARTILE function is using the wrong quartile number. Make sure you understand which quartile you are trying to calculate and use the correct number (1, 2, 3, or 4).I have just noticed that if you try to get Q1 or Q3 with the =QUARTILE function, it gives you the wrong values. I have tried =QUARTILE.EXC and =QUARTILE.INC, however, does not give correct answers either. So just for joke's sake, I have decided to take the average of the two and it gave me the correct answer. I don't know if it was pure luck or did I do it correctly. I need some help here.
Ex. =(QUARTILE.INC(A:A,1)+QUARTILE.EXC(A:A,1))/2
I've been using the QUARTILE(data, quartile_number) function, but I need to find the average of the quartile (top quartile for my needs) instead of the point that divides the quartiles. Is there any formula or shortcut that can do this?
Thanks!
In the event your spreadsheet locale uses commas , as decimal separators, you will have to use semicolons ; as formula argument separators, like this:
=quartile(G7:G27; 1)
use ; as fx argument separator:
=QUARTILE(G7:G27; 1)
