Syntax:

NORM.INV(Probability, Mean, StdDev)

Description:

This returns the inverse of the normal cumulative distribution function NORM.DIST.

Probability is the given probability from the distribution. The values must be within the range 0 to 1.

Mean is the arithmetic mean of the distribution.

StdDev is the standard deviation of the distribution. This must be > 0.

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.

Compatibility notes:

Microsoft Excel supports this function only in version 2010 or later. The function is unknown in older versions.
