Factorial of Positive Non-Integer Values in Excel

I'm in the proces of creating a control chart template and needed to calculate the factorial of a non-integer value in Excel. Turns out that the factorial function, FACT(), only works for integers. Luckily, you can still get the factorial of a positive non-integer value by using the Gamma function. By definition, x! = G(x+1) = xG(x). In Excel, you have access to the GAMMALN() function which returns LN(G(x)), so to calculate x! for values greater than zero, you can use

=x*EXP(GAMMALN(x))
