# QUARTILE.INC

## Content

This function returns the quartile (which quarter or 25 percent) of a data set based on percentile values from 0..1, inclusive.

## Syntax

`QUARTILE.INC(array, quart)`

## Arguments

This function has these arguments:

| Argument | Description |
| -------- | ----------- |
| *array* | [Required] Array or cell range of numeric values for which you want the quartile value |
| *quart* | [Required] Quartile value for the array (see the table below for returned values) |

## Remarks

A quarter is 25 percent. So the quartile number is an integer between 0 (the minimum value in the data set) and 4 (the maximum value in the data set) and determines the value to return as listed in the table below. *quart* is truncated if it is not an integer. If *quart* is < 0 or > 4 the #NUM! error value is returned.

| 3 | Third quartile (75th percentile) |
| 4 | Maximum value |
