I have a list of numbers from smallest to largest. The number list varies from 12 to 32 numbers. I want to assign the letter "A" to the lowest 25% of the numbers, a "B" to the next lowest 25%, a "C" to the next lowest 25%, and a "D" to the top 25%. In other words, I want to break down my list into 4 separate groups no matter how many numbers are in the list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
I wouldn't imagine you would have xlookup or sequence on a 2011 version. But who knows about macs.

Avoiding those functions, this seems to do what your asking for.
