PROB function - The function returns the probability that values in a range are between two limits in Excel
The following article introduces you to the PROB function - one of the functions in the statistical function group is very popular in Excel.
PROB function - The function returns the probability that values in a range are between two limits in Excel Picture 1
Description: The function returns the probability that values in a range are between two limits.
Syntax: PROB (x_range, prob_range, [lower_limit], [upper_limit])
Inside:
- x_range: the range of numerical values of x with probability associated with it, which is a required parameter .
- prob_range: A set of probabilities associated with the values in x_range, is a required parameter.
- lower_limit: The lower bound of the value you want to calculate probability.
- upper_limit: Close on the option of the value you want to calculate probability.
Attention:
- If any value in Prob_name is not equal to 1 or has a value greater than 1 or less than or equal to 0 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value !
- If upper_limit parameter is omitted -> function returns with probability lower_limit
- If x_range and prob_range have different data points -> the function returns the # N / A error value
For example:
Calculate Prob probability with the data described in the table below:

- In the cell to calculate the probability of entering the formula : = PROB ($ B $ 6: $ B $ 9, $ C $ 6: $ C $ 9, D6) (Here use the absolute address)

- Case 1 of the values in prob_range is greater than 1 or less than 0 => The function returns the #NUM! Error value
