FractileExc() finds the value that corresponds to the exclusive fractile (quantile) of the aggregated data in the expression over a number of records as defined by a group by clause.
Syntax:
Return data type: numeric
The function returns the value corresponding to the rank as defined by rank = fraction * (N+1) where N is the number of values in expr. If rank is a non-integer number, an interpolation is made between the two closest values.
Arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| expr | The expression or field containing the data to use when calculating the fractile. |
| fraction | A number between 0 and 1 corresponding to the fractile (quantile expressed as a fraction) to be calculated. |
