Syntax

LOGNORM.INV(probability, mean, standard_dev)

Square brackets indicate optional arguments.

standard_devYesThe standard deviation of the distribution.1.5

Try LOGNORM.INV

Convert a lognormal probability into a positive value

=LOGNORM.INV(A2,B2,C2)

The supplied probability corresponds to standard-normal z=1. Transforming back from the log scale gives EXP(0+1*1)=e, a positive x-value.
