2. If x is a data type that is not valid, such as a non-numeric value, an error value #VALUE! is returned.
Version
Excel 2013 and later versions
Usage and Examples
Basic usage
To get the related values of density distribution for the standard normal distributions for values between -2 and 2 which is listed in cell B3:B23 with 0.2 as an interval, please use the PHI function in the top result cell as below:
=PHI(-2)
For making the reference auto-changing, you can use the cell reference in the formula as this:
=PHI(B3)
Press Enter key, then drag the auto-fill handle down to the end of the list.

The Excel F.INV function returns the inverse of F probability distribution. If p (probability) = F.DIST(x,…), then F.INV(p,…)= x.
-
Excel FDIST Function
The Excel FDIST Function returns the (right-tailed) F probability distribution which is usually used to measure the degree of diversity between two data sets.
-
Excel EXPON.DIST Function
EXPON.DIST function used in Excel 2010, returns the exponential distribution based on the given x value and the parameter of the distribution.
