The PHI function in Google Sheets is a mathematical tool that calculates the cumulative probability of a given value in a normal distribution. It can be used to determine the likelihood of a certain value occurring within a data set. To use the PHI function, simply enter the desired value and the mean and standard deviation of the data set. This function is useful for analyzing and interpreting data in various fields such as finance, statistics, and research. It is a valuable feature in Google Sheets that allows users to easily perform complex calculations and make data-driven decisions.
PHI function
The PHI function returns the value of the density function for a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1, calculated with the formula 
Parts of a PHI function
PHI(x)
| Parts | Description |
x | The input to the standard normal distribution function. |
Sample formula
PHI(0.25)
Notes
This is a special case of the NORMDIST function, where mean is 0, standard deviation is 1, and ‘cumulative’ is false.
Examples
| A | B | |
| 1 | Formula | Result |
| 2 | =PHI(0.5) | 0.3520653268 |
| 3 | =PHI(1) | 0.2419707245 |
| 4 | =PHI(1.5) | 0.1295175957 |
Related functions
- STDEV: The STDEV function calculates the standard deviation based on a sample.
- NORMDIST: The NORMDIST function returns the value of the normal distribution function (or normal cumulative distribution function) for a specified value, mean, and standard deviation.
