How to use the EXPONDIST function
The EXPONDIST function calculates the exponential distribution representing an outcome in the form of probability.
This function is in the compatibility category and has been replaced by the EXPON.DIST function which was introduced in Excel 2010.
Formula in cell C7:
Excel Function Syntax
EXPONDIST(x,lambda,cumulative)
Arguments
| x | Required. |
| lambda | Required. |
| cumulative | Required. A boolean value. TRUE - cumulative distribution function FALSE - probability density function |
Comments
The EXPONDIST function returns
- #VALUE! error value if lambda or x is non-numeric.
-
#NUM! error value if:
- x < 0 (zero)
- lambda <= 0 (zero)
