Examples

FROM employees
| STATS MEDIAN(salary), PERCENTILE(salary, 50)

MEDIAN(salary):double	PERCENTILE(salary, 50):double
47003	47003

The expression can use inline functions. For example, to calculate the median 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 MEDIAN function

FROM employees
| STATS median_max_salary_change = MEDIAN(MV_MAX(salary_change))

median_max_salary_change:double
7.69
