FUNCTION PERMUT (PERMUTATION)
PERMUT
This function returns the number of permutations for a given number of objects that can be selected from number objects. A permutation is any set or subset of objects or events where internal order is significant. Permutations are different from combination, for which the internal order is not significant. Use this function for lottery-style probability calculations.
How does it work?
=PERMUT(number,number_chosen)
Where:
NUMBER is an integer that describes the number of objects.
NUMBER_CHOSEN is an integer that describes the number of objects in each permutation.
Remarks
- Both arguments are truncated to integers.
- If number or number_chosen is nonnumeric, PERMUT returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If number ≤ 0 or if number_chosen < 0, PERMUT returns the #NUM! error value.
- If number < number_chosen, PERMUT returns the #NUM! error value.
