Returns the modified Bessel function, which is equivalent to the Bessel function evaluated for purely imaginary arguments.
If this function is not available, and returns the #NAME? error, install and load the Analysis ToolPak add-in.
How?
- On the Tools menu, click Add-Ins.
- In the Add-Ins available list, select the Analysis ToolPak box, and then click OK.
- If necessary, follow the instructions in the setup program.
Syntax
BESSELI(x,n)
X is the value at which to evaluate the function.
N is the order of the Bessel function. If n is not an integer, it is truncated.
Remarks
- If x is nonnumeric, BESSELI returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If n is nonnumeric, BESSELI returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If n < 0, BESSELI returns the #NUM! error value.
- The n-th order modified Bessel function of the variable x is:
