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.
