This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the T.INV function in Microsoft Excel.

Returns the left-tailed inverse of the Student's t-distribution.

Syntax

T.INV(probability,deg_freedom)

The T.INV function syntax has the following arguments:

  • Probability     Required. The probability associated with the Student's t-distribution.

  • Deg_freedom     Required. The number of degrees of freedom with which to characterize the distribution.

Remarks

  • 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.

Example
