The following article introduces you to the NORM.S.INV function - one of the functions in the group of statistical functions that is very popular in Excel.
Description: The function returns the inverse value of the normalized distribution with a mean value of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. The function supports Excel 2010 and later versions.
Syntax: NORM.S.INV (probability)
Inside:
- probability: Probability corresponding to the normalized distribution, is a required parameter .
Attention:
- If probability is not number -> the function returns the #VALUE! Error value
- If probability ≤ 0 or probability ≥ 1 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value
For example:
Find the inverse value of the normal distribution of values in the data table below:
- In the cell to calculate, enter the formula : = NORM.S.INV (D6)
- Press Enter -> the inverse value of the normal distribution function is:
- In case the probability value is greater than 1 or less than 0 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value
- Where the probability value is not a number -> the function returns the #VALUE! Error value
Above are instructions and some specific examples when using the NORM.S.INV function in Excel.
Good luck!
