SQL Server PERCENTRANK_EXC function


PERCENTRANK_EXC

Updated: 28 February 2011


Use PERCENTRANK_EXC to return the rank of a value in a dataset as a percentage of the dataset. 
Syntax
XLeratorDB syntax for PERCENTRANK_EXC function for SQL Server
Arguments
@pop
the population values to be used in the PERCENTRANK_EXC calculation. @pop is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
@x
is the value for which you want to know the rank. @x is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
 
@sig
is a value that identifies the number of significant digits for the returned percentage value. If @sig is NULL, PERCENTRANK_EXC uses three digits (0.xxx). @sig is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
Return Types
float
Remarks
·         If @sig is less than one, PERCENTRANK_EXC returns an error.
·         If @x does not match one of the values in the dataset, PERCENTRANK_EXC interpolates to determine the correct percentage rank.
·         PERCENTRANK_EXC is the equivalent of the PERCENTRANK.EXC function in EXCEL. For the percent rank calculation using the inclusive method, see PERCENTRANK.
·         @x must be invariant within a GROUP.
·         @sig must be invariant within a GROUP.
·         PERCENTRANK_EXC is an aggregate function and follows the same conventions as all other aggregate functions in SQL Server.
·         If there is only one value in the dataset, that value will be returned by the function.
·         Available in XLeratorDB / statistics 2008 only
Examples
In this example, we want to see what percent rank a salary of 225,000 has in some selected salaray information for 10 cities.
