Query Formula breastfeeding median [message #11282]

We are working with DHS datasets, specifically about breastfeeding. We are calculating the exclusive breastfeeding median using the formula available in the page 124 of material "Guide to DHS Statistics" (median = mi-1 + (pi-1 0.5)/(pi-1 pi ) x (w i)). Our doubt is how to calculate the median when the first proportion of breastfeeding (pi) is lower than 50%. Besides, how to calculate when the proportion of breastfeeding in the last age range (4-5 months) is higher than 50%.
