Find Median Of Large Set Of Numbers To Calculate Median Income?
Mar 6, 2014
We are trying to find the median of a large set of numbers to calculate the median income in 2010. For an example we have 8,379k people with $2500 average income, 9,783k with $7500 average income and so on. How can I calculate the median average income of such a large amount of entries?
So what I have is a large list of items, and each item has the price of the product, and a product type.
What I want to do is find the median price for each specific product type, using a formula, without having to sort or filter my large list of products.
I am trying to find the median of a set of numbers on a column that correspond to dates on the left column. I want a monthly median average of the numbers on the right which correspond to the dates on the left. So for example. I want to make an equation that gives me the median of all the numbers on the right if they fall within the range of a certain month(in this case October). I've tried These:
excel macro and i would like to ask u if i want to calculate a median of column of data and then the result i need to put in a new column with row by row....i need how to write the coding?
I haven't been able to find the answer to this here, nor have my own fumblings worked... I would like to have a formula to calculate the MEDIAN value of a column's visible cells - or a formula which will include the only cells meeting a certain criteria from another column.
For example... Column O contains a list of countries: US, China, England Column M contains the values: 1, 5, 10, etc
I would like the result of the MEDIAN formula to change based on the criteria selected in column O (so if I pick US, only the values associated with US lines are included).
I could probably put a button on the sheet and do something in vba behind the scenes, but the user is specifically asking for a formula so he can maintain it himself.
i need to calculate the median of numbers in column m. which numbers i want to include will be calculated by checking their number in their row in column a.
so.. column a is ages of surveyees, column m is how long they sleep per night. i want to calculate the median sleep per night of 9 year olds.
I have two columns of data, one is the price per unit, the other is the quantity sold at that price. I'm trying to find the median selling price, but MEDIAN doesn't work correctly and I'm not sure how to tell the function to count each price the actual number of times it was sold.
I actually believe I've found a work-around for this problem - I sort by price and use a SUM function to figure out where the middle is...I just feel like there should be an easier way (for the future).
It's probably best if you open up the attached example spreadsheet that contains sheets "Before" and "After" otherwise it might be pretty difficult to understand what I'm talking about.
So I have this spreadsheet where I have part numbers in column B, status of the orders in Column I and lead times in Column M. What I want to achieve is to get of Mode (col N), Median (col O) and Average (Col P) values of each part number and each of its status using the lead times in Column M. If possible I would only like this on the top lines of each of these. I have done the formulas manually on sheet After so if you click on the formula you can see the range's it covers.
I did create a concatenation in column K (conc of column B and I) as helper column because in theory this might make things a little bit easier.
Now going into second part. I would also like to do something very similar but only using the part number and status "Finished" and get the values in columns T,U, and V on the top row of each part number. I made some blue boxes and arrows to kind of point out the idea.
The solution can be either formula based or macro, it really doesn't matter, however I will intent to use it within macro either way.
I have long series of data in 8 columns (B, F, J, N, R, V, Z, AD) starting at row 5 down to row 86404. I want to find the total median for each row, where a condition is met for that row. The condition is if number>10 and the number is located in row 3 for each column (i.e., B3 for column B). So, if B3, J3, R3 are all >10, then I want to find the median for all the numbers in the columns B,J,R.
I assume there is an array formula that could do this? I've tried a few solutions with no luck.
The top row is just 0, 1, 2, 3 The bottom row is something like: 850, 790, 200, 250
Here's the problem: I want to find the midpoint of the data set in row 2, based on the values in row 1. So, the sum of the data in row 2 in this example is 2090, meaning the midpoint is 1045.
If we were traversing along the top row as a line, we'd find that midpoint somewhere in the 0.3 range... but how do we get that value?
loop that can calculate the median of dynamic ranges. I need to run through all columns and for each column find the the ranges (there are more ranges and they are seperated with a blank row) with numerical data and then calculate the median and thereafter continue down to find the next range with numerical data in that row and so on.
I am working on a spreadsheet for my farm. I have two sets of data I am working with. A very basic example is below:
What I am trying to do is find the actual median stud fee (i.e. if you had another column with $5000 listed 22 times, $6500 listed 34 times, etc. then you could find the median from there). Seems like an easy thing, but I'm not sure if an array formula is what I need to use or something simpler. I don't have a lot of data right now (only a page) but will have much more soon.
I need to find the median of Column C and Column H and then divide the median sum of Column C by the median sum of Column H. My data contains blanks so I obviously need to count cells with data only. I am trying to avoid hard coding any cells and am looking for a single formula.
I've read several threads about using Median(If, and I have success with one criteria, but not with three. Here's the setup:
I have a log of phone calls, and I want to find the median call length for calls in a certain month or set of months (i.e. a quarter, three months). In Calls!B I have the date of the call, in Calls!C I have the call length in minutes (i.e. "34"), and in Calls!A I'm using Concatenate and Text to return month/year (i.e. "Aug06").
With one criteria, it calculates the median correctly. With three, it only returns #NUM. Yes, I hold control+shift and hit enter. Here's my formula:
=MEDIAN(IF(Calls!$A$2:$A$500=Scores!B8,IF(Calls!$A$2:$A$500=Scores!C8,IF(Calls!$A$2:$A$500=Scores!D8,Calls!$C$2:$C$500))))) Where Scores!B8,C8,D8 hold "Oct06" "Nov06" and "Dec06" respectively. What am I doing wrong? Is there another approach I should use instead?
I have a list of part numbers which repeat when there are multple prices they were sold at. For each unique part number I need one median price. The list if of about 500 parts but with the various different prices the file is 3700 rows. How can i do this quickly? For each unique part number I need one median price.
I have an interesting problem (I hope you find it interesting too). I'm trying to find the historical "high" day of the week for a particular stock I follow. I searched for several hours but was honestly unable to make any progress. Normally I do my own formulas, so other than pasting a rare macro, that's pretty much the extent of my (lack of) experience, ie please assume I am a novice....
I have a database of employees with 7 different variables [Year, JobFunction, PreviousIndustry, PreviousRegion, Degree, Experience, CollegeMajor] of which I would like to be able to select any number of and find their median/max/min/etc salary.
For example, I may need to know the median salary of all employees who started in Year 2006, who work in accounting, and have an MBA. ------------------------------------------------------------------
Rather than copy and paste my 7 variable AVERAGEIFS function, I'm just going to use a two variable example here to keep things simple.
I had no trouble doing what I need with this 2 variable AVERAGEIFS function like so;
{=AVERAGEIFS(Salary,File,$A$3,JobFunction,$A$6)}
...where Salary, File and JobFunction are the names of a cells in another worksheet and $A$3 is a drop down menu that I can select the File Year and $A$6 is a drop down menu where I can select the JobFuction.
Now I would also like to have the same kind of conditional "IFS" filtering with the MEDIAN function, but I have been unable to figure it out since Excel doesn't have a MEDIANIFS function. This is what I've tried so far;
Is there a good/easy formula to use when trying to find the mean, median and mode for a column? If so, can someone post it? I'd like to make it as easy as possible (obviously!).
I have a list of hotel IDs in one column of my spreadsheet. In the next few columns, I have ratings that customers gave the hotel for cleanliness, location, room, etc.
What I need to do is calculate the median of all the ratings for each specific hotel, in a separate column.
