NORMSINV

Calculates the inverse of the NORMSDIST function.

Syntax:

NORMSINV(p)

NORMSINV returns the value x, such that NORMSDIST(x) is p.
It is equivalent to NORMINV(p; 0; 1).

Example:

NORMSINV(0.5)

returns 0. Half of the standard normal distribution is below 0.

NORMINV(0.5; 0; 1)

also returns 0.

Issues:

  • The international standard ODFF regards this as a legacy function, preferring NORMINV.
