# NORMDIST Function

The NORMDIST function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the normal distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation.

The NORMDIST function syntax is:

NORMDIST(x , mean , standard-deviation , cumulative-flag)

where

x is the value you want to calculate the distribution for, any numeric value.

mean is the arithmetic mean of the distribution, any numeric value.

standard-deviation is the standard deviation of the distribution, a numeric value greater than 0.

cumulative-flag is the form of the function, a logical value: TRUE or FALSE. If cumulative-flag is TRUE, the function will return the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it will return the probability mass function.

The values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.
