Explanation / Cell Formula
Counts non-empty rainfall values in Data!A2:A...
AVERAGE of ln(Rainfall) from B2 down to last data row
Sample standard deviation of ln(Rainfall)
Standard normal deviate for exceedance probability 1/50
Standard normal deviate for exceedance probability 1/100
μ + z(50)*σ (uses cells B2=μ, B3=σ, B4=z50)
μ + z(100)*σ (uses cells B2=μ, B3=σ, B5=z100)
