Description

The Excel PERCENTRANK.EXC function returns the rank of a value in a data set as a percentage (excludes 0 and 1) of the data set.

Syntax and arguments

Formula syntax

PERCENTRANK.EXC(array, x, [significance])

Arguments

  • Array: Required, the array or range of numeric values that are used to defines relative standing.
  • X: Required, the value that you want to find its relative standing in the array.
  • Significance: Optional, the value that identifies the number of significant digits that the returned percentage value is rounded to. If it is omitted, PERCENTRANK.EXC function takes it as 3 digits (0.xxx).

Return Value

The PERCENTRANK.EXC function returns a numeric value > 0, and <1.

Remark

1. If the argument x does not exist in the array, PERCENTRANK.EXC function interpolates to find the percentage rank.

2. In Excel 2010, the PERCENTRANK function has been replaced with two functions: PERCENTRANK.INC and PERCENTRANK.EXC.

Error

1. If the x is a non-numeric value, the PERCENTRANK.EXC function returns #NAME? error value.

2. If both the argument x and array contain non-numeric values, the PERCENTRANK.EXC function returns #VALUE! error value.

3. The PERCENTRANK.EXC function returns #N/A error value, if one of the below stations occurs:

  • The array is empty;
  • The x is smaller than the smallest value in the array;
  • The x is greater than the largest value in the array.

4. If the significance < 1, the PERCENTRANK.EXC function returns #NUM! error.
