Salary - medianifs and quartileifs in excel mac

[akswartz85]

Hi, I'm trying to calculate the median salary based on a set of conditions - job code = 42, school type = single site.

Sample data:

<style><!--table {mso-displayed-decimal-separator:"\."; mso-displayed-thousand-separator:"\,";}@page {margin:.75in .7in .75in .7in; mso-header-margin:.3in; mso-footer-margin:.3in;}tr {mso-height-source:auto;}col {mso-width-source:auto;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}td {padding-top:1px; padding-right:1px; padding-left:1px; mso-ignoreadding; color:black; font-size:11.0pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none; font-family:Calibri; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-charset:0; mso-number-format:General; text-align:general; vertical-align:bottom; border:none; mso-background-source:auto; mso-pattern:auto; mso-protection:locked visible; white-space:nowrap; mso-rotate:0;}.xl65 {color:white; font-size:10.0pt; font-weight:700; background:#0070C0; mso-pattern:#0070C0 none;}.xl66 {font-size:10.0pt;}.xl67 {font-size:10.0pt; mso-number-format:"\0022$\0022\#\,\#\#0";}.xl68 {font-family:Calibri, sans-serif; mso-font-charset:0;}--></style>

Updated Job Code	Average Salary	Type
42	$60,000	Single site
42	$26,000	Single site
42	$26,500	Multi site
40	$62,000	Single site
49	$40,000	Multi site
42	$45,000	Multi site
21	$33,000	Single site
43	$30,000	Multi site
42	$51,500	Single site

<!--StartFragment--> <colgroup><col width="87" span="3" style="width:65pt"> </colgroup><tbody>
<!--EndFragment--></tbody>

How do I do that? I've been playing with median(if()) combinations but can't seem to get it.

I also have the same question but with quartiles...

Thanks!

Try:
These are array formulas that must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

Thanks. I'm on a mac - excel 2016 - and I can't get it to calculate the array. Is there a different shortcut?

@AhoyNC, I'm now getting a #value error. Any thoughts? Used your formula exactly.

Not sure on the MAC, but I think it might be COMMAND-SHIFT-RETURN. You will first need to put the formula in edit mode (which is function key F2 on a PC may be the same on mac??).

See this link for commands on MAC. Go to the section "Work in cells or formula bar".

I also, assumed that the Job Codes were numeric. If the job codes are text then you will need to enter cell E2 (in the example) as text.
