MEDIAN Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Finding the middle value in a range for central tendency
Understanding the MEDIAN Formula
The MEDIAN function in Excel finds the middle value in a range of numbers when sorted, a robust measure of central tendency less skewed by outliers than the mean. It’s great for incomes, test scores, or any ordered data.
MEDIAN(A1:A5) with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 returns 30. For even counts, it averages the two middle values—ignoring text and blanks, it’s a balanced way to find the center.
Why Use MEDIAN?
MEDIAN resists extremes—think salary analysis or skewed distributions. Its middle-ground approach offers a truer center for uneven data, complementing AVERAGE for deeper insights.
Example with Sample Data
| Numbers | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 10, 20, 30 | =MEDIAN(10, 20, 30) | 20 |
| 5, 15, 25, 35 | =MEDIAN(5, 15, 25, 35) | 20 |
| 1, , 3 | =MEDIAN(1, , 3) | 2 |
MEDIAN centers: 20 for 10, 20, 30; 2 for 1, 3. It’s a middle marker.
