EXCEL CHIINV FUNCTION

The Excel Chiinv function computes the inverse of the Chi-Square Distribution’s right-tailed probability.

Syntax:

=CHIINV( probabilitydegrees_freedom )

Parameter: 

  • The function parameters are as follows:

probability:

  • The chi-square distribution probability for which you wish to calculate the value of x. 

degrees_freedom:

  • The number of possible outcomes (must be a positive integer).
    (If degrees freedom is specified as a decimal, it is trimmed to an integer.)

Example:

The spreadsheet below contains five examples of the Excel Chiinv function, which is used to compute the inverse right-tailed chi-square distribution.

  • #NUM! – Occurs if either of the following conditions are met: the given probability value is 0 or more than 1; the supplied degrees freedom argument is 1.
  • #VALUE!
    – This error occurs if any of the given parameters is not a number
