Documentation/Calc Functions/NORM.INV

Function name:
NORM.INV

Category:
Statistical Analysis

Summary:
Calculates values of the inverse of the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution for the given arguments.

Syntax:
NORM.INV(Number; Mean; StDev)

Returns:
Returns a real number which is the inverse of the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution for the given arguments.

Arguments:
Number is a real number between 0 and 1 (both exclusive) or a reference to the cell containing that number which represents the probability value used to determine the inverse normal distribution.

Mean is a real number or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the mean value of the normal distribution.

StDev is a positive real number or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the standard deviation of the normal distribution.


 * If Number is exactly equal to 0 or 1, then the function returns a value(#VALUE!) error.
 * If Number is greater than 1 or less than 0, then the function returns an error value.
 * If StDev is negative or zero then the function returns an error value.

Additional details:

 * It is such that if NORM.INV(p;m;s) = x then NORM.DIST(x;m;s;TRUE) = p.
 * For values of arguments, Mean=0 and StDev=1, NORM.INV calculates the same value as NORMS.INV, which is the inverse of the standard normal distribution.
