I am using the percentile.exc formula to display the 50th, 85th and 95th percentile.
This figure is calculated from a column containing days items take to complete. The days items take to complete contains data for multiple categories but when I filter the categories I continue to get the same percentile result.
What formula do I need to ensure the percentile is adjusted based on whichever category of item I am interested in.
I still want an overall view but being able to have the data per category would be beneficial.

Thanks in advance.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Let's say that A2:A10 contains your data, try the following formula that needs to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

Excel Formula:
=PERCENTILE.EXC(IF(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(A2:A10,ROW(A2:A10)-ROW(A2),0,1))>0,A2:A10),0.5)

To also exclude from the calculation rows that are manually hidden, replace the number 3 with 103.

Hope this helps!

I couldn't get the suggested formula to work but have since found a workaround.

=AGGREGATE(18,5,F6:F220,0.5)
