NORMDIST

Returns the normal cumulative distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation.

Syntax

expression.NORMDIST(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4);

expression - A variable that represents a ApiWorksheetFunction class.

Parameters

NameRequired/OptionalData typeDefaultDescription
arg1RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberThe value for which the distribution will be returned.
arg2RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberThe arithmetic mean of the distribution.
arg3RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberThe standard deviation of the distribution, a positive number.
arg4RequiredApiRange | ApiName | booleanA logical value (true or false) that determines the function form. If it is true, the function returns the cumulative distribution function. If it is false, the function returns the probability mass function.

Returns

number

Example

Calculate normal distribution probability for a value in a spreadsheet.

// Find the cumulative probability in a distribution with specified mean and standard deviation in a spreadsheet.

// Determine statistical likelihood using the normal distribution curve in a spreadsheet.

let worksheet = Api.GetActiveSheet();
let func = Api.WorksheetFunction;
worksheet.GetRange("A1").SetValue(func.NORMDIST(36, 6, 7, false));
