RELIABILITY

Description: Returns the reliability or conditional reliability at the specified time. For standard reliability, enter the end time in the Time field. For conditional reliability, enter the start time in the Time field and the additional mission time in the Add Time field.

Syntax: RELIABILITY(Data_Src, Age, [Add Time], [Confidence Level])

Data_Src is the source data sheet from which the value is taken.

Age is either the mission end time for a standard probability calculation, or the start time for a conditional probability calculation.
Add Time is the additional operating time duration. It is only used for conditional calculations.

Confidence Level is the percentage (entered as a decimal value) for the 1-sided confidence bounds.

Remarks:

The Data_Src can be one of the following values:

A default data source selected from the Data Source Index drop-down list.
A data sheet name (e.g., "Folio1!Data 1").
A variable name defined in the Defined Names window (e.g., datasource).

Add Time is an optional value and is only used for conditional calculations. When Add Time is not specified, the reliability is calculated for Age. When Add Time is specified, Age is the current age of the item and Add Time is the additional time (or mission time) for which the reliability is to be calculated.
Confidence Level is an optional value and, if specified, must be greater than 0 and less than 1.

Example:

RELIABILITY("Folio1!Data 1", 5, 1, 0.1)
