How to calculate 75th percentile of a value in a column

[Chandrarao]

I have a column with numeric data and for this column i need to calculate 75th percentile of value.

Example: Suppose you have 25 test scores, and in order from lowest to highest they look like this: 43, 54, 56, 61, 62, 66, 68, 69, 69, 70, 71, 72, 77, 78, 79, 85, 87, 88, 89, 93, 95, 96, 98, 99, 99. To find the 90th percentile for these (ordered) scores, start by multiplying 90% times the total number of scores, which gives 90% ∗ 25 = 0.90 ∗ 25 = 22.5 (the index). Rounding up to the nearest whole number, you get 23.

Counting from left to right (from the smallest to the largest value in the data set), you go until you find the 23rd value in the data set. That value is 98, and it’s the 90th percentile for this data set and i want to display this percentile value in new column.

Note: I want to perform this calculation on mutile columns.
