NORMSDIST

Calculates values for the cumulative distribution function of a normal distribution.

Syntax:

NORMSDIST(x)

NORMSDIST calculates the cumulative distribution function of a standard normal distribution with mean μ = 0 and standard deviation σ = 1.
It is equivalent to NORMDIST(x; 0; 1; 1).

Example:

NORMSDIST(0)

returns 0.5. The standard normal distribution curve is centred on 0, hence half of the curve is below 0.

NORMDIST(0; 0; 1; 1)

also returns 0.5.

Issues:

  • The forthcoming international standard ODFF regards this as a legacy function, preferring NORMDIST.
