10.12. Rank and Percentile Tool

Figure 10-24. Rank and Percentile Tool Dialog

Use this tool to rank given data and to calculate the percentiles of each data point. The variables for are specified by the "Input Range:" entry. The given range can be grouped either by columns or by rows.

For each variable, the tool creates three columns in the output table. The first column gives the indices of the ordered data from largest to smallest data value. The second column gives the corresponding data values while the third column indicates the percentile of each data value.

If you have labels, for example the names of the variables, in the first row (or column) of the given range, you should check the "Labels" button. This leaves the first row (or column) of the input range out of the analysis. In addition, the names of the variables are printed in the output table.
