NORM.S.INV and NORM.INV in M

Hi,

 

I am trying to replicate these functions that work well with DAX and Excel in the Power Query:

NORM.S.INV inverse of the standard normal cumulative distribution

NORM.INV inverse of the normal cumulative distribution

 

I am trying to find a solution with M but I am open to read solutions with R or python.

 

Thank you!

Hi @MartaCB ,
thanks for the feedback.
I have added a sample file (to the blogpost as well).
Please let me know if that works for you.

Hi @MartaCB ,
I published a version for the NORM.INV here: Excel NORM.INV function in Power Query and Power BI – (thebiccountant.com)
If you can provide an understandable algorithm for the NORM.S.INV function, I might give it a go as well.

Hi,

When I did my first research online, I found that link. I was unable to make it work.

I am after the NORM.S.INV (or NORM.INV when the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1) of a given probability.  

 

Is it possible for you to publish how that code works? As I said, I was unable to make it work.

 

Thank you,

Marta

Hi,

I do not think a sample is needed as the equation works directly with the probability.

NORM.S.INV is the same as NORM.INV when mean is 0 and standard deviation is 1.

 

If I assume the probability is 0.8, I get this in excel:

And the same in DAX:

Thank you!
