Don't know anything about MicroStrategy.

 

If you are using SAS Proc Means/Summary to compute quantiles SAS has multiple methods depending on the settings of the options Qntldef (5 options) and Qmethod (2 options though P2 only allows Qntldef=5) (plus Qmarkers if using the Qmethod=P2). So you may want to check the online help in SAS where it defines the effects of the options in the section on Quantile and Related Statistics. You may be able to duplicate the MicroStragegy calculations if they provide sufficient documentation.
