WorksheetFunction.Norm_S_Inv Method

Returns the inverse of the standard normal cumulative distribution. The distribution has a mean of 0 (zero) and a standard deviation of one.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Norm_S_Inv ( _
    Arg1 As Double _
) As Double
'Usage
Dim instance As WorksheetFunction
Dim Arg1 As Double
Dim returnValue As Double

returnValue = instance.Norm_S_Inv(Arg1)
double Norm_S_Inv(
    double Arg1
)

Parameters

  • Arg1
    Type: System.Double

    Probability - A probability corresponding to the normal distribution.

Return Value

Type: System.Double

Remarks

If probability is non-numeric, Norm_S_Inv returns the #VALUE! error value.

If probability < 0 or if probability > 1, Norm_S_Inv returns the #NUM! error value.

Given a value for probability, Norm_S_Inv seeks that value z such that NORM_S_DIST(z) = probability. Thus, precision of Norm_S_Invdepends on precision of Norm_S_Dist(Double, Boolean). Norm_S_Inv uses an iterative search technique. If the search has not converged after 100 iterations, the function returns the #N/A error value.
