PERCENTRANK.INC(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.

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

3. The PERCENTRANK.INC 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;
