Hello,
I have a huge amount of data in a table. These are times taken to fly
somewhere.
I want to group this data by month and year, and for each month I want to
consider all the flight times in ascending order of duration. From this I
want to capture the 70th percentile data.
Take this example:
We have 200 flights and the durations are 300,301,302,303,...,499 mins
I want to order them (ascending) and pick out the value of the 70th
percentile. In this case, that would mean the 140th flight in the sorted
list, which would have a flight duration of 439 mins.
Is there any way to do this in Access?
I could even do it in Excel if it's not possible in Access - although I can
already do this as a one off, I would like to find a way that would be able
to consider multiple flights, months and years all at the same time - which
would be an absolute nightmare from what I've tried.... so I'd rather find a
way in Access.
Any help would be massively appreciated.
