WorksheetFunction.LogInv method (Excel)

Use the lognormal distribution to analyze logarithmically transformed data.

Important

This function has been replaced with one or more new functions that may provide improved accuracy and whose names better reflect their usage. This function is still available for compatibility with earlier versions of Excel. However, if backward compatibility is not required, you should consider using the new functions from now on, because they more accurately describe their functionality.

For more information about the new function, see the LogNorm_Inv method.

Syntax

expression.LogInv (Arg1, Arg2, Arg3)

expression A variable that represents a WorksheetFunction object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data type Description
Arg1 Required Double Probability - a probability associated with the lognormal distribution.
Arg2 Required Double Mean - the mean of ln(x).
Arg3 Required Double Standard_dev - the standard deviation of ln(x).

Return value

Double

Remarks

If any argument is nonnumeric, LogInv returns the #VALUE! error value.

If probability ≤ 0 or probability ≥ 1, LogInv returns the #NUM! error value.

If standard_dev ≤ 0, LogInv returns the #NUM! error value.
