Percentile, Quantile, Top N ?

Hello everybody,

 

This is my first post.

I have a basic Employees Excel Sheet with two columns (Matricule, Annual Salary).

I would like to calculate the salary above which there is a percentage of employees. For example, the value of the salary above which the top 10% of employees are paid.

 

Thank you very much

Hi @Xavier ,

 

You can use the formula

 

TOP 10 = PERCENTILE.INC(ALL('Table'),.90)

 

This will give you the threshold or 90percentile value or people who are in top 10 percentile salary.
