=NORMDIST(x, mean, standard_dev, cumulative)Arguments

x | Required | The value |
mean | Required | The mean |
standard_dev | Required | The standard deviation (positive) |
cumulative | Required | TRUE for the cumulative distribution, FALSE for the density |
How to use NORMDIST
NORMDIST is kept so older workbooks keep working. It calculates the same way as NORM.DIST, which is the name to use in new formulas.
NORMDIST takes 4 required arguments. Type =NORMDIST( 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.
