The metric named 'x' in the above example is described as a probability corresponding to a given normal distribution. For that reason, it should have values between 0 and 1 inclusive. If its values are below 0 or above 1 the InverseNormDistribution function returns no result.
 
ACTION:
Ensure that the 'x' metric has values between 0 and 1 inclusive. The InverseNormDistribution metric will show non null values, as shown below:
