In this guide, we’ll delve into the use of the QUARTILE.EXC function in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. This function computes the quartile for a dataset, taking into account a value between 0 and 1. Unlike the regular quartile function which might return an exact datapoint, QUARTILE.EXC interpolates to find a value between two points, rendering a more precise quartile calculation.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/h2>\n

The syntax for QUARTILE.EXC is consistent across both Excel and Google Sheets:<\/p>\n

=QUARTILE.EXC(array, quart)<\/code><\/pre>\n
    \n
  • array<\/code>: This is the array or cell range that contains the data set from which you want to compute the quartile.<\/li>\n
  • quart<\/code>: This is a decimal between 0 and 1 that specifies which quartile to return. For instance, 0.25 corresponds to the first quartile, 0.5 to the median, and 0.75 to the third quartile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Examples:<\/h2>\n
    Consider a set of exam scores for which we need to determine the quartiles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Student<\/th>\nScore<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    1<\/td>\n85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    2<\/td>\n78<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    3<\/td>\n92<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    4<\/td>\n67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    5<\/td>\n88<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
    To compute the first quartile (25th percentile), you can use the following formula:<\/p>\n
    =QUARTILE.EXC(B2:B6, 0.25)<\/code><\/pre>\n
    This formula outputs the exclusive first quartile of our exam scores dataset.<\/p>\n
    Similarly, the third quartile (75th percentile) can be computed with:<\/p>\n
    =QUARTILE.EXC(B2:B6, 0.75)<\/code><\/pre>\n
    This will produce the exclusive third quartile for the exam scores.<\/p>\n
    The QUARTILE.EXC function is an effective tool for calculating quartiles in Excel and Google Sheets. It aids in statistical analysis and helps you understand the distribution within your data more thoroughly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
