Hi,
I want a function in Excel that gives me quartile position (e.g. Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4) or Decile position (e.g. D1, D2 ets) of a number in the data set.

for example in the given data set
1,2,3,4,2,7

1 belongs to Q1
7 belongs to Q4

similar for Decile also.

I also want a way where i can define if Higher is better or Lower is better.


any VBA help is welcome.

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
thanks mole999, this is very close to what i want.
i can derive my result from the help that you provided.

Pure speculation 1,2,3,4 to 4,3,2,1 maybe (I don't actually know that's what it will show)
