Hello.

In columns A and B (A2:A600 and B2:B600) I have product names and in columns C and D their prices. When product is in column A his price is in column C (same row) and when product is in column B his price is in column D.

Note that the same item will not appear in both columns A & B on the same row and likewise prices for some products could be undefined (aka. blank cells) and in that case rows should be ignored for calculation.

I need a formula for 0.3 percentile for each product.

example.

C​
D​
E​

explanation.

All prices for apple: 3,1,8,7 and 0.3 percentile is 2.8 (cell F2)
All prices for orange: 4,6,5,9 and 0.3 percentile is 4.9 (cell F3)

*note that rows three and four are without price, and they should be disregard for calculation

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
I made a mistake with the table, so here is a picture with the correct data.

Hello, would this work:

Excel Formula:
=AGGREGATE(16,6,$C$2:$D$600/(($A$2:$B$600=$E2)*($C$2:$D$600<>"")),0.3)
