Function name:
LOGNORM.DIST

Category:
Statistical Analysis

Summary:
Calculates either the probability density function or the cumulative distribution function values of the log-normal distribution for the given data.

Syntax:
LOGNORM.DIST(Number; Mean; StDev; Cumulative)

Returns:
Returns a non-negative real number representing the requested value for the log-normal distribution with the specified mean and standard deviation.

Arguments:
Number is a real number or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the value for which the log-normal distribution is to be calculated.

Mean is a real number or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the mean value of the log-normal distribution.

StDev is a positive real number or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the standard deviation of the log-normal distribution.

Cumulative can be 0 or False to calculate the probability density function. It can be any other value or True to calculate the cumulative distribution function.


 * If Number is negative or zero then the function returns a zero value for the cumulative distribution function. However, it returns an error for the probability density function for these values.
 * If StDev is negative or zero then the function returns an error value.

Additional details:
If Cumulative is FALSE, LOGNORM.DIST returns an error value if x <= 0 and the probability density function value
 * The formula for LOGNORM.DIST is:

otherwise If Cumulative is TRUE, LOGNORM.DIST returns 0 if x <= 0 and the cumulative distribution function value

otherwise

where x = Number μ = Mean σ = StDev
