Rank function?

[Tim Erickson]

I was surprised not to find rank as a CODAP function. I could use it to recode a continuous value into quintiles (say). That is,

Quintile = ceil( 5 * rank(foo)/count())

Is there a better way?

(I see in the code and docs that percentile might have done it, but at the moment it returns the percentile of a specific value you give the function rather than, say, the percentile of this case)

Hi Tim,

You are the first to request rank. I’ll put it at the top of the feature requests!

Hi Bill,

I would also like the rank function. I use it in my hypothesis test simulation (Fathom and TP). I did create a work around, but that would make things easier.
