Ignore Zero's - Percentile

[Chris26]

Hi

I have used the following to get the average value from a set of data whilst
ignoring zero values within the data set.

=SUM(K4:AP4)/COUNTIF(K4:AP4,">0")

I would like to use the percentile command on the same set of data. Is there
a way that I can use Percentile and also ignore zero values ?
Many Thanks
Chris

Hi,

with an ARRAY formula

=PERCENTILE(IF(K4:AP4>0,K4:AP4),0.1)

This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter
'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula
'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

You can also do this from VBA by using

rng.FormulaArray = "PERCENTILE(IF(K4:AP4>0,K4:AP4),0.1)"
