T Tom Freeman Mar 13, 2009 #1 What is the best way to calculate quintile returns for a long list of return data?
T Tom Freeman Mar 13, 2009 #2 I am specifically looking at a table with two fields (# of employees, Return) in which I want to calculate the quintile return based on the # of employees.

T Tom Freeman Mar 13, 2009 #4 There is a quartile function but no quintile function. I am basically looking to split the data in the following way: # of employess Largest 20% Rank 21%-40% 41%-60% 61%-80% 81%-100% And than show the average return for each group.

S Shane Devenshire Mar 13, 2009 #5 Hi, Sorry, I missed that. Try this instead: =PERCENTILE(E1:E4,0.2) You can do any ...tile with this. In your case use .2, .4, .6, .8, 1
