            Bug ID: 137259
           Summary: Misleading Help descriptions for the BETAINV and
                    BETA.INV functions of Calc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation

Description:
The description of the first argument to these functions reads "Number is the
value between Start and End at which to evaluate the function". This appears to
be incorrect - the Start and End values are intended to constrain the results
of the functions, not the input probability.

Suggest clarify that Number is the probability associated with the BETA
distribution for other given arguments (Alpha and Beta). Also suggest updating
the descriptions of the Start and End arguments to reflect that they define a
range for the output of the function.

Finally it may be worth adding a comment about the defaults applied when Start
and End are not specified.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View relevant Help page
2.
3.
