How do we figure out how to do a percentile in Webfocus that DOES NOT use the Normal Distribution function? We would like to mimic the Excel function: PERCENTILE(range, X percentile).

Nailzz,

You would probably have to create a specific UWS for this as I do not think that using a FUNCTION would be possible owing to the fact that you would need to pass an array with a variable number of members.

Check out something like wikipedia for a definition of PERCENTILE to identify what calulations you would require to achieve your required result.

p.s. Please update your signature to allow the display of your conficuration to be seen. Add the detail to thew singanture field and not just the specifgc field(s).
