In this week’s Excel tip, we cover how to use the Excel MEDIAN function. The MEDIAN function is used the return the median value within the defined range.
For this demonstration, we will use the follow example:
The task assigned for this spreadsheet was to find the median sale amount. To do this, we will use the MEDIAN formula:
=MEDIAN(Number1, [number2]..)
Since the goal is to find the median in a single range, the formula becomes:
=MEDIAN(D2:D21)
And once you enter the formula, you get the return value:
Since there were 20 cells within the range, the formula found the average between two middle values.
We at Learn Excel Now hope you feel comfortable using the MEDIAN function now.
