Quartiles[data]
gives the quantile estimates of the elements in data.
Quartiles[data,{{a,b},{c,d}}]
uses the quantile definition specified by parameters a, b, c, d.
Quartiles[dist]
gives the quantiles of the distribution dist.

Possible Issues (2)Quartiles requires numeric values in data:
The symbolic closed form may exist for some distributions:
Quartiles of data computed via Quantile do not always agree with Quartiles:
