Description

• This function gives the value of quartile for a given set.
• Quartiles are the values that divide a list of numbers into quarters.
• A quartile is a type of quantile.
• In $QUARTILE(Array,Quartile)$, $Array$ is the array of numeric values to find the Quartile and $Quartile$ is the position of the quartile.

qu value   QUARTILE(result)
0   -           Minimum value
1   -           First quartile(25th Percentile)
2    -          Median value(50th Percentile)
3    -          Third quartile(75th Percentile)
4    -          Maximum value  

• The difference between the upper and lower quartiles is called the inter-quartile range.
• When we are giving $Quartile$ in a decimal value, then it will change in to integer.
• This function will give the result as error when

 1. The array is empty
 2. $Quartile<0$ or $Quartile>4$
 3. MIN,MEDIAN and MAX will give the same value as QUARTILE when $Quartile$ is 0,2,and 4 respectively.
