Basically you use NTILE to exclude certain "buckets" that, by your definition, have "silly values". Neat!</p> Thanks Jeff for sharing.

Gets rid of all the silly values basically and means the stats analysis is much more solid.</p> Been using it for quite some time to work out OUTLIERs for stats analysis of data - things outside the norm need to be discounted so we NTILE over 200 and drop the 1/200 buckets so we rule out the 0.5% on either end of the distribution.
