Tools for generating percentile tables?

Does anyone know of any tools for quickly and easily generating the numeric ranges of percentile tables?

I usually calculate this stuff by hand, but it'd be nice if there's some tool out there where I can just punch in the number of items in a list and have it quickly spit out the necessary ranges.

Bonus points for advanced features to assist with weighting results.

EDIT: Found this one here: http://media.wholesignal.com/ump/percentile/chartgenerator.html

Anyone know any others?

Can't answer your question, but thank you for the good link! :)

Yeah, I wound up using that program to generate the numbers I needed.  It's a handy link.

If you can wrap you head around it a spreadsheet should be able to generate a % table from a list of items with weighted probabilities.
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

I know the latest version of Excel can do this, I don't know about earlier versions.
"Meh."

I saw a couple mentions of being able to do this in my google searching, but I was unable to find any instructions on exactly how.  My Excel skills are pretty limited.

I would've liked to weight the tables a bit though.

Unfortunately, the site that I linked in the OP is down.

Necroing to see if anyone has any other advice on how to easily calculate these.
