Summarize Percentile Not Working

The_Fray

Hello,

 

I am having issues with the Summarize tool and percentiles. 

 

I want the percentiles for a column that looks like the following:

 

The_Fray_0-1635974847574.png

The_Fray_2-1635975042485.png

 

 

but once I run it through the summarize percentile nothing happens:

 

The_Fray_1-1635974895050.png

 

i was expecting 0 - 100 percentile, not numbers over 200 with no changes to the acutal data.

 

Thanks,

 

Fray

Hi @The_Fray - your issue is with the group by in the summarize tool. When you group by, the summarize tool applies any calculation to the those groupings.

Hmm. I see what you are saying now. Is there a way though to get the percentile for every row in the data? for example, if the first 5 numbers in the dataset at 25, 50, 66, 75, 100, I want to know the percentile for each one of those numbers.

 

Thanks

I am not sure if its possible without using sum, otherwise you will always get 1 value.

Does this what you need?

@The_Fray - can you provide an input and expected output?
