Reverse Percentile calculation

[anoopnair1]

In Excel we can specify the percentile e.g (= percentile(array, .45) to get what number would the percentile be in a range. Is there a method to find the percentile of a value within the range. if i have numbers 1 to 10 and i want to find what percentile 9.5 would be.

thanks

Have a look at the PERCENTRANK function ... I think that's does it.

Hi

Percentrank can be used for this:
