PHI

PHI: Returns the standard normal probability density at `x`.

Summary

PHI is equivalent to NORM.S.DIST(x, FALSE) and is useful in continuous-probability calculations.

Remarks

  • Evaluates the density of a standard normal variable centered at 0.
  • The result is always non-negative and symmetric around x = 0.
  • Works for any real input value.
  • Invalid numeric coercions propagate as spreadsheet errors.
