Syntax
=BINOMDIST(number_s, trials, probability_s, cumulative)Arguments
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
number_s | Required | The number of successes |
trials | Required | The number of trials |
probability_s | Required | The probability of success on each trial |
cumulative | Required | TRUE for the cumulative distribution, FALSE for the density |
How to use BINOMDIST
BINOMDIST is kept so older workbooks keep working. It calculates the same way as BINOM.DIST, which is the name to use in new formulas.
BINOMDIST takes 4 required arguments. Type =BINOMDIST( in a cell and SheetsBat shows the arguments as you go. Optional arguments are shown in square brackets; leave them out to use their default.
Examples
Each result below was calculated by the SheetsBat formula engine.
