Median (Median)

This function is available on the Add Study window and in the Formula Toolbox.

The Median function returns the median of the user-selected numbers. The median is the number in the middle of a set of numbers; that is, half the numbers have values that are greater than the median, and half have values that are less, or it is the average of the two middle numbers in the set.

Example: The median calculation for September 7th ends with the data for September 7th and goes back 2 additional periods for the 3-period calculation.

Example: Median(@,20)
