FINV (percentiles of the F distribution)

Note: FINV is supplemented by the new identical function F.INV.RT, which is available in newer versions of Microsoft Excel (2010 or later).

Syntax:

FINV(Probability, DegreesFreedom1, DegreesFreedom2)

Description:

Returns the inverse of the right-tailed F probability distribution function (i.e., percentiles of this distribution).

Probability is the probability to be evaluated. Must be in the range 0 to 1.

DegreesFreedom1 is the numerator degrees of freedom.

DegreesFreedom2 is the denominator degrees of freedom.

Both degrees of freedom must be ≥ 1 and < 10^10. Integer numbers are expected. Digits to the right of the decimal point are ignored.

Note:

The result of this function is calculated using an iterative search technique. If PlanMaker does not find a result after 100 iterations that deviates less than ±3x10^-7 from Probability, it displays the error value #N/A and aborts the approximation.
