Scenario:
Column A Column B Column C. Column D (Percentile Min) Percentile 10% Percentile 20%
Aetna Dr. 1 54% Aetna 0.0 .10 .20
Aetna Dr. 2 53% Aetna
Aetna Dr. 3 60% Aetna
Aetna Dr. 4 82% Aetna
L8 M8 N8
Aetna Cigna UHC
=Percentile.Inc(Index($C:$C, Match($L8, $D:$D, 0)), .2)
Problem is this formula only returns the first value available in the index. So for example this formula yields 54% for the percentile min of 0 when it should be 53%. Thoughts?
I have no idea what s meant to be in which cell.
Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).
1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!
4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

I hope this works (see attached)
My desire is not for the index/match to return the first value available but to actually run the percentile.inc formula on the array which is specific to (in this case Aetna).
Please let me know if there are any issues with the attachment, it's just a small sample size.
Attachment is fine - please be patient. Someone will take a look in due course.

Hi.
Use this array formula:
=PERCENTILE.INC(IF($A$2:$A$13=$E$19,$C$2:$C$13,""),E14)
Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...
Hello Glenn,
I found this thread when trying to look for solution for my spreadsheet problem.
I am trying to do something similar, except that I need to extract rows based on more than one criteria.
So I tried using this formula:
=PERCENTILE.INC(IF(AND(CT_Query!$A:$A=G1, CT_Query!$B:$B=G2, $C:$C=G3), $E:$E), 0.5)
F G
Route 2
Direction North
Segment 14_15
An example of how my raw data is structured is: Capture.JPG
When I execute Control-Shift-Enter, I got a 0 value. Can you help me find out what is wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance!
