The ERF function returns the integral of the Gauss error function over an interval of values.

Parts of an ERF formula

ERF(lower_bound, [upper_bound])

PartDescriptionNotes
lower_boundIf this parameter is the only parameter, the integral is taken between 0 and this value. If z2 is provided, it refers to the lower boundary for the integral.
upper_boundThe upper boundary of the integral.Upper boundaries are optional.

Sample formulas

ERF(-2.3, -0.7)

ERF(1)

Notes

If the lower or upper boundaries are non-numeric, ERF returns “#VALUE!.”

  • ERFC: The ERFC function returns the complementary Gauss error function of a value.
  • NORMDIST: The NORMDIST function returns the value of the normal distribution function (or normal cumulative distribution function) for a specified value, mean, and standard deviation.
