ERFC function

Returns the complementary error function

Syntax

ERFC(x)

Square brackets indicate optional arguments.

Arguments

ArgumentRequiredMeaning
xYesThe lower bound for integrating ERFC.1

Try ERFC

Evaluate ERFC at a nonzero input

=ERFC(A2)

The complementary error function is 1-ERF(x). At x=0.75 it is about 0.288844366; direct ERFC evaluation also helps avoid subtractive cancellation in small tails.
