NTNORMDIST

Returns the standard normal distribution for the specified parameters.

Syntax​

NTNORMDIST(
    x,
    Cumulative
)

Parameters​

  • x is the value for which you want the distribution (x>0)(x>0).
  • Cumulative is a logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, NTNORMDIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function.

Remarks​

  • When argument Cumulative=TRUE, this function returns same result as Excel function "NORMSDIST" does.
  • When argument Cumulative=FALSE, this function returns same result as Excel function "NORMSDIST(x,0,1,FALSE)" does.

Example​
