Hi!
I am working on a statistics report, and I need to find the median of a
percentage increase, decrease, and no change. Would these be the formulas I
need to use?

=MEDIAN(IF(C160:CI160,"0")) for increase
=MEDIAN(IF(C160:CI160,"<0")) for decrease
=MEDIAN(IF(C160:CI160,"0")) for no change

Thanks so much for your help!

Try

=MEDIAN(IF(C160:CI1600,C160:CI160))

etc., which is an array formula

Please note that this is an array formula. You create array formulas in the
same way that you create other formulas, except you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to
enter the formula. If successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly
braces at both ends like "{=<formula}"

=MEDIAN(IF(G1:G200,G1:G20))
=MEDIAN(IF(G1:G20<"",IF(G1:G20<0,G1:G20)))

If this post helps click Yes

No. You need to remind yourself of the syntax of the IF function; look it
up In Excel help.
The first argument should be a condition, and the second is the outcome if
the condition is satisfied. Remember also that a string enclosed in quotes
is text, so it wouldn't be any use as an argument for a number function like
MEDIAN.
