Thumbs up Answer: Is there a medianif similar to averageif

Yes, there is a way to calculate the median for a day of the week over an entire year using a similar function to AVERAGEIF. The function you are looking for is called MEDIANIF.
  1. First, make sure your data is organized in a table with columns for the day of the week and the corresponding data for each day.
  2. Next, determine the criteria for which you want to calculate the median. In this case, it would be the day of the week.
  3. In a new cell, enter the
    Formula:
    MEDIANIF 
    function. The syntax for MEDIANIF is:

    Formula:
    MEDIANIF(rangecriteria, [median_range]) 


    - Range: This is the range of cells you want to evaluate for the criteria.
    - Criteria: This is the criteria you want to use to determine which cells to include in the median calculation. In this case, it would be the day of the week.
    - Median_range: This is the range of cells you want to use to calculate the median. In this case, it would be the corresponding data for each day.
  4. For the range argument, select the entire range of cells that includes both the day of the week and the corresponding data.
  5. For the criteria argument, enter the day of the week you want to calculate the median for. For example, if you want to calculate the median for Mondays, enter "Monday" in quotes.
  6. For the median_range argument, select the range of cells that includes the corresponding data for each day.
  7. Press enter to calculate the median for the specified day of the week.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 for each day of the week to calculate the median for the entire year.
