This function has these arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| array | Array or cell range of numeric values for which you want the quartile value |
| quart | Quartile value for the array (see the table below for returned values) |
A quarter is 25 percent. So the quartile number is an integer between 0 (the minimum value in the data set) and 4 (the maximum value in the data set) and determines the value to return as listed in the table below. quart is truncated if it is not an integer. If quart is < 0 or > 4 the #NUM! error value is returned.
