T.INV function: Description, Usage, Syntax, Examples and Explanation
What is T.INV function in Excel?
T.INV function is one of Statistical functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the left-tailed inverse of the Student’s t-distribution.
Syntax of T.INV function
T.INV(probability,deg_freedom)
The T.INV function syntax has the following arguments:
- Probability: The probability associated with the Student’s t-distribution.
- Deg_freedom: The number of degrees of freedom with which to characterize the distribution.
Explanation T.INV function
- If either argument is nonnumeric, T.INV returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If probability <= 0 or if probability > 1, T.INV returns the #NUM! error value.
- If deg_freedom is not an integer, it is truncated.
- If deg_freedom < 1, T.INV returns the #NUM! error value.
