# How to Use T.DIST.RT function in Google Sheets in 2020?

T.DIST.RT functionReturns the right tailed Student distribution for a value x. Along with T.DIST.2T, this function replaces TDIST and is equivalent to calling TDIST with the tails argument set to 1.

Parts of a T.DIST.RT function

T.DIST.2T(x, degrees_freedom)

Part
Description

x
Required. The x value to evaluate the distribution at.

degrees_freedom
Required. The degrees of freedom.

Sample formulas

Example 2: A1 has T.DIST.RT(-1.98, 2)Example 1: A1 has T.DIST.RT(1.96, 60)

Notes

If deg_freedom is less than 1, returns an #NUM error.
This formula along with T.DIST.2T replace the TDIST formula. T.DIST.RT is equivalent to calling the TDIST formula with tails = 1.
