>Median is a value in a series of numbers where there are an equal number of values less than and greater than. Not knowing if there may be duplicate values makes this a bit harder. I'd try for the arithmetic mean (by getting the minimumand maximum values via CALCULATE) as a starting point. Where to go from there, I haven't figured out.:-)

Sounds like Value in the middle in an ordered series. I can't say I understood honestly :( Bruce is a statistician :)
