Default percetile function limitation

Greg -

One way is to sort the range (or make a copy and then sort the copy), use an
adjacent column for cumulative relative frequency (perhaps using Excel's
nonstandard approach from 0 to 1 in steps of 1/(n-1)), and get the
percentile using a lookup function.

Hi,

This is taken from Help file

"If array is empty or contains more than 8,191 data points, PERCENTILE
returns the #NUM! error value. "

My array is way over 8,191 data points, is there a workaround? Maybe VBA
code?

Thank you,
