What is BESSELY function in Excel?
BESSELY function is one of Engineering functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the Bessel function, which is also called the Weber function or the Neumann function.
Syntax of BESSELY function
BESSELY(X, N)
The BESSELY function syntax has the following arguments:
- X: The value at which to evaluate the function.
- N: The order of the function. If n is not an integer, it is truncated.
BESSELY formula explanation
- If x is nonnumeric, BESSELY returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If n is nonnumeric, BESSELY returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If n < 0, BESSELY returns the #NUM! error value.
- The n-th order Bessel function of the variable x is:
