Compatibility - BETADIST Function

The BETADIST function replaces the BETA.DIST function from Excel 2010.

Description

This function returns the cumulative beta probability density function. The beta distribution is commonly used to study variation in the percentage of something across samples.

Syntax

BETADIST(x,alpha,beta,[A],[B])

Arguments

Argument	Description	Required/ Optional
X	The value between A and B at which to evaluate the function.	Required
Alpha	A parameter of the distribution.	Required
Beta	A parameter of the distribution.	Required
A	A lower bound to the interval of x.	Optional
B	An upper bound to the interval of x.	Optional

Notes

If any argument is nonnumeric, BETADIST returns the #VALUE! error value.
If alpha ≤ 0 or beta ≤ 0, BETADIST returns the #NUM! error value.
If x < A, x > B, or A = B, BETADIST returns the #NUM! error value.
If you omit values for A and B, BETADIST uses the standard cumulative beta distribution, so that A = 0 and B = 1
