| Argument | Required | Description |

x | Required | The value (0 or more) |
alpha | Required | The shape (positive) |
beta | Required | The scale (positive) |
cumulative | Required | TRUE for the cumulative distribution, FALSE for the density |
How to use GAMMADIST
GAMMADIST is kept so older workbooks keep working. It calculates the same way as GAMMA.DIST, which is the name to use in new formulas.
GAMMADIST takes 4 required arguments. Type =GAMMADIST( 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.
