WorksheetFunction.LogNorm_Dist Method

Returns the lognormal distribution of x, where ln(x) is normally distributed with parameters mean and standard_dev. Use this function to analyze data that has been logarithmically transformed.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function LogNorm_Dist ( _
    Arg1 As Double, _
    Arg2 As Double, _
    Arg3 As Double, _
    Arg4 As Boolean _
) As Double
'Usage
Dim instance As WorksheetFunction
Dim Arg1 As Double
Dim Arg2 As Double
Dim Arg3 As Double
Dim Arg4 As Boolean
Dim returnValue As Double

returnValue = instance.LogNorm_Dist(Arg1, _
    Arg2, Arg3, Arg4)
double LogNorm_Dist(
    double Arg1,
    double Arg2,
    double Arg3,
    bool Arg4
)

Parameters

  • Arg1
    Type: System.Double

    X - The value at which to evaluate the function.

  • Arg3
    Type: System.Double

    Standard_dev - The standard deviation of ln(x).

  • Arg4
    Type: System.Boolean

    Cumulative - 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.

Return Value

Type: System.Double

Remarks

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:
