Which Beta? Probability of a Type II error, or coefficient in linear regression?

If it is Type II error, then you have to do most of the problem yourself and use the appropriate distribution to find the final probability calculation.

Do you have an example problem?

IMHO, doing statistics with EXCEL is not as easy as it should be.
