Quintile Returns
I am specifically looking at a table with two fields (# of employees, Return)
in which I want to calculate the quintile return based on the # of employees. "Tom Freeman" wrote: What is the best way to calculate quintile returns for a long list of return data? |

Quintile Returns
Hi,
I'm not completely sure what a quintile return is but Excel has a QUINTILE function which you might want to consider. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Quintile Returns
There is a quartile function but no quintile function. I am basically
looking to split the data in the following way: # of employess Largest 20% Rank 21%-40% 41%-60% 61%-80% 81%-100% And than show the average return for each group.

Quintile Returns
Hi,
Sorry, I missed that. Try this instead: =PERCENTILE(E1:E4,0.2) You can do any ...tile with this. In your case use .2, .4, .6, .8, 1 -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
