Note that the median is NOT calculated based on the categories, but using all data in the dcs. All empty values are ignored.
Syntax
median(dcsColumn)
Arguments
dcsColumn: is a numeric dcs column (column whose data type is Number).
Example
number n = median(C1) where true;
print(n); //return median value
