PERCENTRANK.INC

The PERCENTRANK.INC function in Google Sheets returns the percentage rank (percentile) from 0 to 1, inclusive, of a specified value in a dataset.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: PERCENTRANK.INC(data, value, [significant_digits])

Parameters:

  • data: The range or array containing the dataset for which the percentile rank needs to be calculated.
  • value: The value for which the percentile rank needs to be calculated.
  • significant_digits: [Optional] The number of significant digits for the calculated percentile rank. The default value is 3.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using PERCENTRANK.INC with a range of cells:

    • Example: If A1:A10 contains the dataset [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100], and you want to find the percentile rank of the value 50, then the formula =PERCENTRANK.INC(A1:A10, 50) will return 0.5.
  2. Using PERCENTRANK.INC with an array:

    • Example: If {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is the array and you want to calculate the percentile rank of the value 4, then the formula =PERCENTRANK.INC({1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, 4) will also return 0.5.
