Thanks for the feed-back *BUT* -
*** Some caveats ***:
Just noticed that the above formula:
=AND(RANK(A1,A$1:A$20)<COUNTIF(A$1:A$20,">0")+1,RANK(A1,A$1:A$20)>=COUNTIF(A
$1:A$20,">0")-(COUNTIF(A$1:A$20,">0")/4)+1)
will *fail* to return the full 25% compliment of values if any of those
bottom values are duplicated to the extent that they exceed the bin size of
25%.
i.e.; no zeroes present - 25% = return of 5 bottom values.
1, 2, 3, 3, 3, returns 5 values,
1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, returns 2 values,
3, 3, 3, 3, 3, returns 5 values,
3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, returns *no* values!
If this presents a problem, you might keep checking back to see if anyone
will come up with something better.
