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:

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

Probability is the given probability from the F distribution. The values must be within 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. Integers are expected; if this is not the case, PlanMaker automatically truncates the decimal places.

Note:

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