Thanks. I should have been more specific. I have a column of weights and a
column of data. I want the weighted median of the data. Is there a way to do this using the separate range of weights?

More clarification needed. I'm guessing your mean something like the data being in a single column range named D, weights in an adjacent single column range named W with each row having the data value and its corresponding weight. If so, then the weighted mean would involve sorting the 2-column range on the D column, then calculating the running sum of the W column and finding the median of the running sums, and interpolating to find the D value. For example, given the original D-W table 3 1 2 1 4 2 1 1 4 2 4 2 1 2 6 1 3 2 5 1 Sorting on D gives 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 1 3 2 4 2 4 2 4 2 5 1 6 1 Then adding a 3rd column with the running sum of W gives 1 1 1 1 2 3 2 1 4 3 1 5 3 2 7 4 2 9 4 2 11 4 2 13 5 1 14 6 1 15 The median of the running sum of W is 8, and the interpolated D value is 3.5. If this is what you mean, then I think the udf Bob Phillips gave would be the best approach. |
