How to Use the Power BI DAX function T.DIST.RT

In this article, we will explore the T.DIST.RT function in detail and show you how to use it in your Power BI reports and dashboards.

What is the T.DIST.RT function?

The T.DIST.RT function is a statistical function in Power BI that is used to calculate the right-tailed probability of the Student’s t-distribution. The Student’s t-distribution is a probability distribution that is used to estimate the mean of a normally distributed population when the sample size is small and the standard deviation of the population is unknown.

The T.DIST.RT function takes two arguments: x and degrees_of_freedom. X is the value for which you want to calculate the right-tailed probability, and degrees_of_freedom is the number of degrees of freedom for the t-distribution.

The syntax for the T.DIST.RT function is as follows:


T.DIST.RT(x,degrees_of_freedom)


How to use the T.DIST.RT function in Power BI

Using the T.DIST.RT function in Power BI is fairly simple. All you need to do is follow these steps:

1. Open your Power BI report or dashboard and navigate to the formula bar.



4. Press Enter to calculate the right-tailed probability.

Understanding degrees of freedom

The degrees of freedom (df) in the t-distribution is the number of independent observations in a sample that are free to vary. In general, the degrees of freedom for a sample is calculated as n - 1, where n is the number of observations in the sample. The degrees of freedom determines the shape of the t-distribution and affects the accuracy of the estimation of the population parameter.

Examples of using the T.DIST.RT function

Let's look at a few examples of how to use the T.DIST.RT function in Power BI.

Example 1

Suppose you have a sample of 10 observations and you want to calculate the right-tailed probability for a value of 1.5. The degrees of freedom for the sample is 9. To calculate the right-tailed probability, you would use the following formula:


=T.DIST.RT(1.5,9)


The result would be the right-tailed probability for the t-distribution with 9 degrees of freedom.

Example 2

Suppose you have a sample of 20 observations and you want to calculate the right-tailed probability for a value of 2.0. The degrees of freedom for the sample is 19. To calculate the right-tailed probability, you would use the following formula:


=T.DIST.RT(2.0,19)


The result would be the right-tailed probability for the t-distribution with 19 degrees of freedom.

In conclusion, the T.DIST.RT function is an important statistical function in Power BI that can be used to calculate the right-tailed probability of the Student's t-distribution. It is a powerful tool that can help you gain insights from your data and make informed decisions. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily use the T.DIST.RT function in your Power BI reports and dashboards and take your data analysis to the next level.
