Hi Sam,
Though this is a bit cumbersome way, you may try it:
1) Using Fitting Function Builder, define your function, say f(x)=experfc(x), with a parameter "p" instead of the constant pi.
2) Make the function plot of your function. ("File: New: Function Plot: 2D Function Plot")
3) Double-click the function plot to show Plot Details, and press "Workbook" button to make the data sheet.
4) Highlight the Y column, and start NLFit ("Analysis: Fitting: Nonlinear Curve Fit").
5) In NLFit, select your function, and in the left panel, select "Find X/Y" tab, and turn ON the "Find X from Y" check box. Click Fit to finish fitting. (Of course, it converges with pi.)
6) You find a new sheet"FitNLFindXfromY1" in the worksheet. Now, you can copy your Y values to the first column in this sheet, and you get the corresponding Xs.
Hope this helps.

============================================
P.S.
I have noticed after I made a function plot of your function that it is a monotonically increasing function.
Therefore, it is safe to switch the positions and the designations (X and Y) of the first and second columns;
Then you can run "Analysis: Mathematics: Interpolate/Extrapolate Y from X" to get the actual Xs.
