CHISQ.INV.RT and CHISQ.DIST.RT

The Chisq.Inv.Rt function is the inverse of the Excel Chisq.Dist.Rt function.

I.e., for a supplied probability, the Chisq.Inv.Rt function finds the value of x such that:

Chisq.Dist.Rt( x, degrees_freedom ) = probability

Basic Description

The Excel Chisq.Inv.Rt function calculates the inverse of the right-tailed probability of the chi-square distribution.

The function is new in Excel 2010 and so is not available in earlier versions of Excel. However, the Chisq.Inv.Rt function is simply a new version of the Chiinv function that is available in earlier versions of Excel.

The syntax of the Chisq.Inv.Rt function is :

CHISQ.INV.RT( probability, degrees_freedom )

Where the function arguments are:

probability	-	The probability of the right-tailed chi-square distribution, for which you want to find the value of x
degrees_freedom	-	The number of degrees of freedom (must be an integer between 1 and 10¹⁰) (If the supplied degrees_freedom is a decimal, this is truncated to an integer)

Chisq.Inv.Rt Function Errors

If you get an error from the Excel Chisq.Inv.Rt function this is likely to be one of the following :

Common Errors

#NUM!

Occurs if either:

	-	the supplied probability value is ≤ 0 or > 1
or
	-	the supplied degrees_freedom argument is <1 or >10¹⁰

#VALUE!

Occurs if either of the supplied arguments are not recognised as numeric values
