GAMMAINV Function

The GAMMAINV function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the inverse of the gamma cumulative distribution.

The GAMMAINV function syntax is:

GAMMAINV(probability, alpha, beta)

where

probability is the probability associated with the gamma distribution. A numeric value greater than 0 but less than 1.

alpha is the first parameter of the distribution, a numeric value greater than 0.

beta is the second parameter of the distribution, a numeric value greater than 0. If beta is 1, the function returns the standard gamma distribution.

The values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.
