# median

The `median*` functions are the aliases for the corresponding `quantile*` functions. They calculate median of a numeric data sample.

Functions:

* `median` — Alias for [quantile](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantile).
* `medianDeterministic` — Alias for [quantileDeterministic](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileDeterministic).
* `medianExact` — Alias for [quantileExact](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileExact).
* `medianExactWeighted` — Alias for [quantileExactWeighted](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileExactWeighted).
* `medianTiming` — Alias for [quantileTiming](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileTiming).
* `medianTimingWeighted` — Alias for [quantileTimingWeighted](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileTimingWeighted).
* `medianTDigest` — Alias for [quantileTDigest](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileTDigest).
* `medianTDigestWeighted` — Alias for [quantileTDigestWeighted](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileTDigestWeighted).
* `medianBFloat16` — Alias for [quantileBFloat16](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileBFloat16).
* `medianDD` — Alias for [quantileDD](/core/reference/functions/aggregate-functions/reference/quantileddsketch).

**Example**

Input table:

```text theme={null}
┌─val─┐
│   1 │
│   1 │
│   2 │
│   3 │
└─────┘
```

```sql title="Query" theme={null}
SELECT medianDeterministic(val, 1) FROM t;
```

```text title="Response" theme={null}
┌─medianDeterministic(val, 1)─┐
│                         1.5 │
└─────────────────────────────┘
```
