Type: Aggregator

Function: PERCENTILE

Syntax: PERCENTILE(number_field, percentile)

Description: Returns the value at a given percentile for a number field. The percentile is discrete, which means that the value returned is one of the values returned by the number_field. It is not extrapolated like the result provided by PERCENTILE_CONT (continuous percentile)

Sample usage:

  • PERCENTILE(lines_changed, 0.90) returns the 90th percentile for the number of lines of code changed.

  • PERCENTILE((closed_at - created_at)/HOUR(), 0.75) returns the 75th percentile for the cycle time, in hours.

  • PERCENTILE(additions, 0.50) returns the 50th percentile (median) for the number of lines of code addded. This is equivalent to MEDIAN(additions).
