You need to put them in numerical order, then the upper quartile is the 75% piece of data, so it's the one that's 3/4 away from the bottom.. So if you have 12 pieces of data it's the 12*3/4 = 9th piece of data, if it doesn't fall on a piece of data, you'll have to work out where it is in between the 2 adjacent pieces of data.

The interquartile range is the difference between the 75%th and the 25%th pieces of data.

Let me know if you don't understand any of this :)
