How to use NORMSINV
NORMSINV is kept so older workbooks keep working. It calculates the same way as NORM.S.INV, which is the name to use in new formulas.
NORMSINV takes 1 required argument. Type =NORMSINV( 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.
