NORM_DIST

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

Syntax

expression.NORM_DIST(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

const worksheet = Api.GetActiveSheet();
let valueArr = [36, 6, 7, false];

// Place the numbers in cells
for (let i = 0; i < valueArr.length; i++) {
worksheet.GetRange("A" + (i + 1)).SetValue(valueArr[i]);
}

//method params
let x = worksheet.GetRange("A1").GetValue();
let mean = worksheet.GetRange("A2").GetValue();
let standardDeviation = worksheet.GetRange("A3").GetValue();
let cumulative = worksheet.GetRange("A4").GetValue();
let func = Api.GetWorksheetFunction();
let normalDist = func.NORM_DIST(x, mean, standardDeviation, cumulative);
worksheet.GetRange("C1").SetValue(normalDist);
