MEDIAN

Returns the median of a set of numbers.

Syntax:

MEDIAN(number1; number2; ... number30)

number1 to number30 are up to 30 numbers or ranges containing numbers.

MEDIAN returns the median (middle value) of the numbers. If the count of numbers is odd, this is the exact middle value. If the count of numbers is even, the average of the two middle values is returned.

Example:

MEDIAN(1; 5; 9; 20; 21)

returns 9, the number exactly in the middle.

MEDIAN(1; 5; 9; 20)

returns 7, which is the average of 5 and 9, the two numbers in the middle.
