MINVERSE

Formulas / MINVERSE
Calculate the inverse matrix of an array.
=MINVERSE(array)
  • array - required, numeric array with the same number of rows and columns
  • range of cells - OPTIONAL, can be given as a range of cells
  • array constant - OPTIONAL, can be an array constant
  • name - OPTIONAL, can be a name for either of the above

Examples

  • =MINVERSE(B7:C8)

    The MINVERSE function takes two arguments for its input: a matrix of numbers and the size of the matrix. This example takes a 2 x 2 matrix in B7:C8 as its input and returns the corresponding 2 x 2 matrix in E7:F8.

  • =MINVERSE(I7:K9)

    The MINVERSE function can also be used to find the inverse of a 3 x 3 matrix. For example, this takes a 3 x 3 matrix in I7:K9 as its input and returns the corresponding 3 x 3 matrix in B7:C8.

    • The MINVERSE function can also be used with multiple matrices. For example, if you have two 2 x 2 matrices in B7:C8 and E7:F8, you can use the MINVERSE function to calculate the inverse of both matrices. The result would be two 2 x 2 matrices, one in B7:C8 and one in E7:F8.


Summary

The MINVERSE function calculates the inverse matrix of a given array of numbers. It requires the input array to be a square matrix with the same number of rows and columns and returns an inverse matrix of the same dimensions.

  • The MINVERSE function takes a square matrix as input and returns its inverse matrix.
  • The input matrix must contain only numbers and have the same number of rows and columns.
  • The output matrix will also have the same number of rows and columns as the input matrix.
