Syntax

BETA.INV(probability, alpha, beta, [A], [B])

Square brackets indicate optional arguments.

Arguments

ArgumentRequiredMeaning
probabilityYesA probability associated with the beta distribution.0.685470581

Try BETA.INV

Recover a beta cutoff from a probability

=BETA.INV(A2,B2,C2)

For this Beta(2,2) distribution, 3*x^2-2*x^3 equals 0.15625 at x=0.25. The inverse returns the x-value for the supplied cumulative probability.
