LOGNORM.DIST function: Description, Usage, Syntax, Examples and Explanation

Syntax of LOGNORM.DIST function

LOGNORM.DIST(x,mean,standard_dev,cumulative)

The LOGNORM.DIST function syntax has the following arguments:

• X     Required. The value at which to evaluate the function.
• Mean     Required. The mean of ln(x).
• Standard_dev     Required. The standard deviation of ln(x).
• Cumulative     Required. A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, LOGNORM.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability density function.

LOGNORM.DIST formula explanation

• If any argument is nonnumeric, LOGNORM.DIST returns the #VALUE! error value.
• If x ≤ 0 or if standard_dev ≤ 0, LOGNORM.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.
• The equation for the lognormal cumulative distribution function is:LOGNORM.DIST(x,µ,o) = NORM.S.DIST(1n(x)-µ / o)
