Examples

FROM employees
| STATS p0 = PERCENTILE(salary,  0)
     , p50 = PERCENTILE(salary, 50)
     , p99 = PERCENTILE(salary, 99)

p0:double	p50:double	p99:double
25324	47003	74970.29

The expression can use inline functions. For example, to calculate a percentile of the maximum values of a multivalued column, first use MV_MAX to get the maximum value per row, and use the result with the PERCENTILE function

FROM employees
| STATS p80_max_salary_change = PERCENTILE(MV_MAX(salary_change), 80)

p80_max_salary_change:double
12.132
