Hi Folks,

Is there a way to write a UDF function for calculating a PERCENTILE value for a given set of N measurements?.

I have used a workaround for now using PERCENT_RANK Function to calculate a percentile value which matches closely (<0.01% variance) with the value calculated in MS Excel (PERCENTILE function).

UDFs manuals mostly talk about Scalar or Aggregate functions, but I have not come across any material that has information on writing Ordered Analytical Functions. If you happen to know about it, please let me know.
