Returns the right-tailed probability of the chi-squared distribution.

Syntax

expression.CHIDIST(arg1, arg2);

expression - A variable that represents a ApiWorksheetFunction class.

Parameters

NameRequired/OptionalData typeDefaultDescription
arg1RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberThe value at which the distribution will be evaluated, a nonnegative number.

Returns

number

Example

Find what percentage of results fall beyond a certain point in a chi-squared distribution in a spreadsheet.

// Determine the upper tail probability for a chi-squared value and degrees of freedom in a spreadsheet.

// Use statistical testing to assess whether observed values are extreme or typical in a spreadsheet.

let worksheet = Api.GetActiveSheet();
let func = Api.WorksheetFunction;
let avg = func.CHIDIST(12, 10);
worksheet.GetRange("B2").SetValue(avg);
