Hi - According to Excel Help info, the CHIINV function should work for
degrees of freedom up to 10^10, but I get a #NUM error for any value greater
than 1037. Example: CHIINV(0.95,1038) gives #NUM, as does any other value
1037. Can anyone help me with this? (Am I doing something wrong?, or is
there a way to work around the problem?) Thank you. - Amy

The only thing you're doing wrong is believing Excel's online help
contains no errors. There are lots of falsehoods therein, and Microsoft
just can't seem to whip up the enthusiasm to correct them (some have
been around for over a decade).
