# quantileExact {#quantileexact}
|
||
|
||
Exactly computes the [quantile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile) of a numeric data sequence.
|
||
|
||
To get exact value, all the passed values are combined into an array, which is then partially sorted. Therefore, the function consumes `O(n)` memory, where `n` is a number of values that were passed. However, for a small number of values, the function is very effective.
|
||
|
||
When using multiple `quantile*` functions with different levels in a query, the internal states are not combined (that is, the query works less efficiently than it could). In this case, use the [quantiles](../../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/quantiles.md#quantiles) function.
|
||
|
||
**Syntax**
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
quantileExact(level)(expr)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alias: `medianExact`.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
- `level` — Level of quantile. Optional parameter. Constant floating-point number from 0 to 1. We recommend using a `level` value in the range of `[0.01, 0.99]`. Default value: 0.5. At `level=0.5` the function calculates [median](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median).
|
||
- `expr` — Expression over the column values resulting in numeric [data types](../../../sql-reference/data-types/index.md#data_types), [Date](../../../sql-reference/data-types/date.md) or [DateTime](../../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md).
|
||
|
||
**Returned value**
|
||
|
||
- Quantile of the specified level.
|
||
|
||
Type:
|
||
|
||
- [Float64](../../../sql-reference/data-types/float.md) for numeric data type input.
|
||
- [Date](../../../sql-reference/data-types/date.md) if input values have the `Date` type.
|
||
- [DateTime](../../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md) if input values have the `DateTime` type.
|
||
|
||
**Example**
|
||
|
||
Query:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT quantileExact(number) FROM numbers(10)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result:
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─quantileExact(number)─┐
|
||
│ 5 │
|
||
└───────────────────────┘
|
||
```
