CHISQ.INV DAX Function (Statistical)

Returns the inverse of the left-tailed probability of the chi-squared distribution. The chi-squared distribution is commonly used to study variation in the percentage of something across samples, such as the fraction of the day people spend watching television.

Syntax

CHISQ.INV ( <Probability>, <Deg_freedom> )
Parameter Attributes Description
Probability

A probability associated with the chi-squared distribution.

Deg_freedom

The number of degrees of freedom.

Return values

Scalar A single decimal value.

Returns the inverse of the left-tailed probability of the chi-squared distribution.

Remarks

If argument is nonnumeric, CHISQ.INV returns the #VALUE! error value.
If probability < 0 or probability > 1, CHISQ.INV returns the #NUM! error value.
If deg_freedom is not an integer, it is rounded.
If deg_freedom < 1 or deg_freedom > 10^10, CHISQ.INV returns the #NUM! error value.

Examples

--  Given the degrees of freedom, CHISQ.DIST returns the value
--  of the probability density function using the chi-square
--  distribution, or the cumulative distribution depending on the
--  third argument.
--
--      CHISQ.DIST ( [Value], DegFreedom, Cumulative )
--
--  The .INV functions provide the inverse calculation
--  The .RT functions return the right tail of the chi-square, they
--  do not need the Cumulative argument, which is always TRUE
--  CHISQ.DIST.RT = (1 - CHISQ.DIST)
