alpha | Required | The shape (positive) |
beta | Required | The scale (positive) |
How to use GAMMAINV
GAMMAINV is kept so older workbooks keep working. It calculates the same way as GAMMA.INV, which is the name to use in new formulas.
GAMMAINV takes 3 required arguments. Type =GAMMAINV( in a cell and SheetsBat shows the arguments as you go. Optional arguments are shown in square brackets; leave them out to use their default.
Examples
Each result below was calculated by the SheetsBat formula engine.
