EXCEL PERCENTRANK FUNCTION

The Excel Percentrank function computes the percentage position of a supplied value within a group of values.

Syntax :

=PERCENTRANK( arrayx[significance] )

Parameters :

  • Array – The array of values that you wish to know the relative location of a given value inside.
  • X – The value for which you wish to compute the relative position.
    (x must be in the range of the values in the given array, but it does not have to be precisely equal to one of them. If x is not found in the array, the values of the array are interpolated to determine the % rank).
  • Significance – An optional input indicating the number of significant numbers to which the returned percentile value is adjusted.
    (By default, the % number returned is accurate to three significant digits.)
