Compatibility - LOGNORMDIST Function
The LOGNORMDIST function replaces the LOGNORM.DIST function in Excel 2010.
Description
The function returns the cumulative lognormal distribution of x, where ln(x) is normally distributed with parameters mean and standard_dev.
Use this function to analyze data that has been logarithmically transformed.
Syntax
LOGNORMDIST(x,mean,standard_dev)
Arguments
Argument | Description | Required/ Optional |
---|---|---|
X | The value at which to evaluate the function. | Required |
Mean | The mean of ln(x). | Required |
Standard_dev | The standard deviation of ln(x). | Required |
Notes
The equation for the lognormal cumulative distribution function is −
$$LOGNORMDIST(x,\mu,\sigma) = NORMDIST(\frac{ln(x) - \mu}{\sigma})$$
If any argument is non-numeric, LOGNORMDIST returns the #VALUE! error value
If x ≤ 0 or if Standard_dev ≤ 0, LOGNORMDIST returns the #NUM! error value
