MULTINOMIAL function

PRO BASIC

The MULTINOMIAL function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a mathematical tool thatcalculates the multinomial coefficient, which is the factorial of the sum of given numbers divided by the product of their factorials. To put it simply, if you have a series of numbers, this function will calculate the factorial for each number (which is the product of all positive integers up to that number), and then multiply those results together. This function is particularly useful in statistical calculations and probability theory scenarios where you need to calculate combinations or permutations.

Documentation

Returns the multivariate factorial, which is the product of factorials of a series of numbers.

Syntax

MULTINOMIAL(number1, [number2],...)

Parameter	Description
`number1`	The first number.
`numberN`	The nth number.

Behavior

The MULTINOMIAL function calculates the multinomial of a set of numbers. This function takes a set of positive integer values as input and returns their multinomial.

If any argument contains an error, the MULTINOMIAL function will return that error.
If the arguments include decimal numbers, Jspreadsheet truncates them to their integer part before calculation.- The function handles decimal numbers by truncating them to integers.
If the argument includes negative numbers, the MULTINOMIAL function returns a #NUM! error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs if the provided argument is non-numeric.
#NUM!	This error is shown when the provided argument is a negative number.
#N/A	This error is displayed if there are no arguments provided to the function.

Best practices

Always ensure that the provided values are positive integers to avoid any errors.

If you are using cell references as the function's arguments, make sure that these cells contain numeric values.

Be aware that the function treats decimal numbers as integers by truncating the decimal part.

Use the MULTINOMIAL function to calculate multinomial coefficients in probability and statistics problems, such as multinomial expansions. Avoid using it for negative numbers as it would result in an error.

Usage

A few examples using the MULTINOMIAL function.

MULTINOMIAL(3, 4, 5) // returns 27720, because (3+4+5)! / (3! * 4! * 5!)  
MULTINOMIAL(2, 2, 1) // returns 30  
MULTINOMIAL(A2:A6) // calculates using the values in cells A2 through A6  
MULTINOMIAL(0, 0, 5) // returns 1, since only one nonzero factorial contributes
