PERCENTILE.EXC DAX Function (Statistical)
Returns the k-th (exclusive) percentile of values in a column.
Syntax
| Parameter | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Column |
A column containing the values. |
|
| K |
Desired percentile value in the interval [1/(n+1),1-1/(n+1)], where n is a number of valid data points. |
Return values
Percentile value.
Remarks
PERCENTILEX.EXC considers the blank values returned by Expression. This behavior is different from PERCENTILE.EXC, which ignores the blank values.

Examples
-- PERCENTILE.EXC computed the k-th percentile, exclusive
-- PERCENTILE.INC computed the k-th percentile, inclusive
--
-- Both functions rank the N values from 1 (lowest)
-- to N (highest), then determine the possibly-non-integer
-- calculated rank for the specified percentage argument K
-- (a decimal number between 0.00 and 1.00), and finally
-- use linear interpolation between the closest integer-rank
-- values of the data array.
--
-- For PERCENTILE.EXC the calculated rank is K*(N+1)
-- For PERCENTILE.INC the calculated rank is K*(N-1)+1
--
-- MEDIAN corresponds to PERCENTILE.INC with k=0.50

Statistical Patterns
DAX includes a few statistical aggregation functions, such as average, variance, and standard deviation. Other typical statistical calculations require you to write longer DAX expressions. Excel, from this point of view, has a much richer language. The Statistical Patterns are a collection of common statistical calculations: median, mode, moving average, percentile, and quartile. » Read more
