In practice, quartiles are used by analysts. Quartiles are basically to understand the ranking of a fund based on its performance compared to other funds in the same category. For example, if a fund's rank is 20 out of 100 funds used for comparison by Morningstar and for another fund it is 500 out of 600 funds. Instead of looking at the rank and total funds considered for comparison, if the data is given in quartiles it's readily understood that the funds are in top category/moderate/worst etc. In the above example the first fund is in the first quartile so we can conclude that it's a top performing fund whereas the second fund's quartile is 4 we can say that it's performance is detracting.
