    Re: Help required with percentages

    In G5, then copied down:

    =IF(E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,0.88),"H", IF(E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,0.6),"M+", IF(E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,0.15),"M", "L")))

    In H5, then copied down:

    =IF(E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,0.75),"H", IF(E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,0.5),"M+", IF(E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,0.25),"M", "L")))


    I can't fathom any functions that equal your values in row 33.

    Re: Help required with percentages

    Thanks for your reply & help.

    I was worried that I had not made myself clear. Is it possible to have your formulas index tables A&B, as the percentiles will change and don't want to have to update the formula each time accordingly.

    Table C - I was hoping that its possible to update row 33 based on D21:D24
    ie (sum in I32) D21 = 2 therefore return a value greater than the 11th highest score in column E and so on

    Column I formula to explain further if J5 = 9 return E13 value

    Many thanks for your help. If you want further examples or an updated example .xls let me know

    I hope I have explained clearly

    Re: Help required with percentages

    @SHG: ??


    In G5:
    =IF($E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,SUM($C$22:$C$24)),"H", IF($E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,SUM($C$23:$C$24)),"M+", IF($E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,$C$24),"M", "L")))

    In H5:
    =IF($E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,SUM($C$30:$C$32)),"H", IF($E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,SUM($C$31:$C$32)),"M+", IF($E5>=PERCENTILE($E$5:$F$17,$C$32),"M", "L")))

    In I5:
    =INDEX($E$5:$E$17, J5)

    Those 3 copied down.

    I33: =PERCENTILE($E$5:$E$17, SUM($C$22:$C$24))
    J33: =PERCENTILE($E$5:$E$17, SUM($C$22:$C$23))
    K33: =PERCENTILE($E$5:$E$17, SUM($C$22))
