Usage and Examples
Basic usage
For instance, in list C2:C4 contains arguments x, deg_freedom1 and deg_freedom2, to get the relative F probability by using cumulative distribution function or probability density function, please use the formula as these:
=F.DIST(C2,C3,C4,TRUE) //Return cumulative distribution function
=F.DIST(C2,C3,C4,FALSE) //Return probability density function
Press Enter key.
