Returning All Data From A List Above The Nth Percentile
Feb 15, 2006
Is there any function in Excel that returns all values from a list above or below a certain percentage rank/percentile?
For instance, if you want the average of the 2% highest numbers in a list? Or the sum of the 25% most expensive items in a shopping catalogue?
It has to be a "dynamic" function, where you can just drop in a set of figures, sort the list, add a percentile, and perform a calculation on all the figures from the cutoff point signalled by the percentile...
I am having trouble using formulas in a smart way in excel.Basically, I am trying to calculate percentile for a range. But since my data set is huge, I dont want to select the range in percentile formula manually. my data set includes buckets and would love to be able to search for that field and then calculate percentile on a range. is that possible?
example
see attached excel file -its a small data set, but there are more buckets in the volume column. Using Excel 2007
If I go any of the cells in that column, the VBA code page opens up and I get the following message:
Compile Error: Ambigous name detected: Worksheet _SelectionChange
and the following vb code is hightlighted:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range
The code I have used is: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Target.Column = 13 Then Target.Columns.ColumnWidth = 40 Else Columns(13).ColumnWidth = 20 End If End Sub
I'm looking to use the percentile formula given a condition. The percentile formula as I understand it is percentile (array,k), where K is the percentile I want.
What I want to do is select a column for the percentile, but only do it for values above zero (I don't want to get into the full explanation as to why but I cannot cheat and just sort the columns).
The context is that I was doing some averageif calculations previously and want to remove outliers (top 5 and bottom 5% of data).
I have to run the 95th percentile value against a raw data dump from a monitoring tool. The data has multiple devices and each device has about a couple of thousands of samples/values. These values are dynamic, it can be 1000 samples for device 1 and may be 1300 for device 2. The data between 2 devices are separated by an empty row. run a macro using the percentile formula that can accept a dynamic range in the array so that it should not matter how many samples/values each device has, it should provide the 95 Percentile value.
Current Option: =Percentile(array,value)
What I'm looking for is: =Percentile(A dynamic range starting from a designated cell to all the way till the last cell in that range i.e before the empty row that separate the two devices,value)
I have a collection of data where the lower the value, the better. When I use Quartile/Percentile, it shows higher values as having a higher rank. Any way to reverse the order, without changing the underlying data (ie. multiply all values by -1)?
Also, I have a graph of the data showing the 1st, 2nd (median) and 3rd quartile and then a particular data set (in this case, company results) over a number of years. Any way to automatically add the Percentrank as a data label for the specific company results? For example, the value 200 puts this company at the 65th percentile. I want the data label to show 65, not 200.
trying to come up with a formula that will return the last non-zero value in a row. In the example below, I'd like the formula to return the value "456". If there is a way to do this without VBA or array formulas, that much the better!
I have a list of 186 random numbers sorted by descending order in column A. In column B I have another statistic of corresponding values to the number in column A. I am hoping to calculate the average of values in column B based on the percentiles of column A. (i.e. for the top 10th percentile values of column A the average B value is X, for the top 20th percentile of values in column A, the average B value is Y).
The conversion rate is updated daily from telephony reports, and I manually sort it into conversion order each day before sending it round.
What I want to do is find the highest converter for each team.
So:
Column A ('TeamLeader' range) has the Team leaders in, column B has the agent name ('Agent' range), and column F has the agents conversion rate ('conversion' range).
I think I'm on the right track with this formula:
=(MAX(IF(TeamLeader="Bonnie",Conversion))
But this only displays the figure in the Conversion rate, how to I get it to 'step back' 4 column's and show the agents name?
I'm trying to also find the numbers that are in the 25th and 75th percentile, is there an easy way to do this?
Column H = Performance Rating (1-5) Column T = The bonus payout % (example 105%)
I'm trying to pull the 25th and 75th percentile for each rating. So if there are 100 employees rated 1, what is the bonus payout that is the 25th percentile? This is just an example, in this case it would be the 25th number in the list....I'm dealing with thousands of bonus %'s.
I know how to create drop down list but I have a problem to Return different value then is displayed in Dropdown List. For example: On the workbook I have two wokssheets: one with empty cell and secound with list created for dropdown list.
On the secound woksheet I have created: column A namebox "Country" - cointains full name of countries (Great Britain, Australia ...) and column B namebox "CountryCode" - contains country codes only (GBR, AUS ...) When I click on dorp down list on first worksheet, I would like to my drop down list display me list with columnA "Country" but when I choose one of that it would returns me cell from columnB "Country Code".
I have run across a problem that I am unable to solve with a combination of index, match and countif funtions. What I am trying to do is have the formula return disctinct symbols. I have a list of currencies on one sheet: audusd, eurusd, usdcad etc, more than one from each. Id like to return one from each onto another sheet...
Actually I plan to create an eRequisition Form for our branch sites. My focus would be the consumable items of Lexmark printers. I want to create cascading drop-down lists based on data table (worksheet : All) as per attached. From lots of examples I've seen in this or other similar forums, I notice that in order to allow this cascading to work is by creating column with header name identical with the input in the 1st List. But I'm thinking, if I need to do that, then there gonna be hundreds or maybe thousands columns to create as the number of branches are expanding, so I think tht should not be practical.
I found examples that shows how lookup 1 value can return multiple values but I totally cannot think of a way to allow those multiple values to be returned as dropdown list rather than displaying all in rows of the worksheet.
What I need is that, in 1st list, upon selecting the branch, it'll populate all items related to the branch and when selecting the item, it'll populate brand/model list for the particular item only. The input in the dropdown list should not have duplicates. Been trying using pivot to do this with macro that enables auto refresh once any changes made in the table.
create this cascading drop-down lists just based on the table as per attached? I really want to avoid having to create extra tables to allow this cascading to work.
I am doing a list which has the same products returning several times, but with different values. Want to filter/make a new list, with only one of each product and the summed amount of that specific product. Summing the specific amount is not that big of an issue, but the creation of the list is, least in a smart way i have tried this:
[Code]......
This being the last possible entry for the summed list.
My problem is that the formulas is getting too big for my computer :S, since this formula is copied more or less 10 times.
Here is an example of what i want: Product list.xlsx
I have a list of names in say column A, but the names are prefixed with numbers. So, for example you have 2 Peter Jones, 5 Johnny Piper, 10 Andrea, 3 St. Mary's, 13 White etc.
I want to return these list of names in another column say B, but without the prefixed numbers. So, column B will have Peter Jones, Johnny Piper, Andrea, St. Mary's, White etc.
I am trying to create a formula that will allow me to enter a zip code and have excel return the specific tax rate for that zip code. I have zip codes in excel for all of California along with the corresponding tax rates. I am creating a form that I can just input the zip code and have the tax rate automatically pop in.
So basically I have an Excel sheet which has keywords that need to be entered in Google search. I need the URL of the first page of the search result that appears after that keyword is entered. IS there a macro for the same?
I would like compare data using a certain column to key off of and compare whether data has changed.
I have 5,000 rows and 26 columns. Cell C1 is CALLED PMNUM, cell I1 is called CHANGEDATE
I want to find all of the same PMNUMs (C2-C5000), look at the last change date (I2) (sorted in descending order), compare it to the previous change date (I2) and if anything has been changed in columns D2 through G2 and J2 through Z2 compared to the last time the data was reported, list the changes in in AA2.
=IF(M22<=286.74>191.16,(286.74-M22)*30%, IF(M22<=191.16>127.44,((191.16-M22)*50%)+28.674, IF(M22<=127.44>79.65,((127.44-M22)*70%)+60.534, IF(M22<=79.65,((79.65-M22)*90%)+93.987. is returning all data based on =IF(M22<=286.74>191.16,(286.74-M22)*30%, and is disregrading the rest of the formula.
I want to be able to choose a country from a drop-down list, and then have the spreadsheet retrieve/return values from that country, whose input data is located in a different worksheet. E.g. I want to be able to change the input according to what country I am looking at. I was able to do this with simple IF functions,but I'm realizing that this is not good enough. I want to eventually expand the number of countries that I want to return data from, and then the formula is not dynamic enough.
Example spreadsheet attached.
To make it simple: I want to be able to return the correct values for "page views" and "high" and "low" according to what country I choose from the drop-down menu in cell C3 on the "value calculator" sheet.
Also; in cell N15 and N16 I want the alternatives to be yes and no, and they cannot be yes at the same time. H
I am working on a form to pull employee identifiers such as employee ID, store number as well as sales performance. I am using the below formula but the data that is being returned is not the correct data for the specific employee. C5 is the employee name (last name, first name) in a single cell. A sample of the spreadsheet I am trying to pull data from is attached. Some employees the formula pulls the right data and some it does not...
I have a query which is giving me some trouble when returning the data from ms query. The query was written in mysql query browser and returns 2 columns of data - a date and a number. MS Query correctly processes the query but when the data is returned to excel only the second column is returned. Here is the query:
SELECT (SELECT max(l.the_date) FROM nc_view_date_functions AS l WHERE l.week_of_year = d.week_of_year AND l.yyyy = d.yyyy ) AS week_end_date, count(r.consent_id) AS weekly_count FROM rg_resource_consents AS r INNER JOIN nc_view_date_functions AS d ON r.application_date = d.the_date GROUP BY d.yyyy, d.week_of_year;
