Hi everyone,
Say I have a dat set such as: 4 5 6 7 The median is (5+6)/2=5.5! However, I am not interested in the answer here, but the 5 and the 6!!! Is there an excel function or way to do so? Thanks alot, Mike |

Do you want the output in one single cell or in 2 separate cells? Mike Wrote: Hi everyone, Say I have a dat set such as: 4 5 6 7 The median is (5+6)/2=5.5!

Here is one solution to find "the Reversed Median". Value One: =IF(ISODD(COUNT(A1:A6)),INDEX(LARGE(A1:A6,ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&COUNT(A1:A6)))),(COUNT(A1:A6)+1)/2),INDEX(LARGE(A1:A6,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNT(A1:A6 )))),(COUNT(A1:A6))/2)) Value Two: =IF(ISODD(COUNT(A1:A6)),"",INDEX(LARGE(A1:A6,ROW(I NDIRECT("1:"&COUNT(A1:A6)))),(COUNT(A1:A6)+2)/2)) Example: 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6 -- 2 and 4 1, 2, ,4, 5, 6 -- 4 Hope it helped Ola Sandström Attached zip-file: http://www.excelforum.com/attachment...tid=3648&stc=1 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Book5.zip | |Download: http://www.excelforum.com/attachment.php?postid=3648 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- olasa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ olasa's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=17760 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=390763 |

Olasa,
Tried your formula, but none of them did work! Have you tried them on an example to see if they are working as they appear above? Mike |

Those are awfully complex formulas for a simple calculation. Why not
=LARGE(A1:A6,COUNT(A1:A6)/2) for the median (if n odd) or the larger middle value (if n even), and =IF(ISEVEN(COUNT($A$1:$A$6)),SMALL($A$1:$A$6,COUNT ($A$1:$A$6)/2),"") for the smaller middle value (if n even) Jerry olasa wrote: Here is one solution to find "the Reversed Median".
