=LOGINV()
Returns the inverse of the lognormal cumulative distribution function of x, where ln(x) is normally distributed with parameters mean and standard_dev. If p = LOGNORMDIST(x,...) then LOGINV(p,...) = x. Use the lognormal distribution to analyze logarithmically transformed data. For more information about the new function, see LOGNORM.INV function.

=LOGINV(A2, A3, A4)
Result:
4.0000252
§ Remarks
- If any argument is nonnumeric, LOGINV returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If probability <= 0 or probability >= 1, LOGINV returns the #NUM! error value.
- If standard_dev <= 0, LOGINV returns the #NUM! error value.
- The inverse of the lognormal distribution function is:
✦ Tips
- This function has been replaced with one or more new functions that may provide improved accuracy and whose names better reflect their usage. Although this function is still available for backward compatibility, you should consider using the new functions from now on, because this function may not be available in future versions of Excel.

⚠ Common Errors
#VALUE!
If any argument is nonnumeric, LOGINV returns the #VALUE! error value.
Fix: برای تمام آرگومانها مقدار عددی وارد کنید و بررسی کنید سلولهای مرجع خالی یا متنی نباشند.
#NUM!
If probability <= 0 or probability >= 1, LOGINV returns the #NUM! error value. If standard_dev <= 0, LOGINV returns the #NUM! error value.
Fix: Enter allowed values
