FAQ
What should I do if BINOM.DIST returns a #VALUE! error?
- Check whether each parameter uses the correct data type and make sure numeric arguments do not contain text or extra spaces.
- If the source values were pasted from another location, clean the content and enter the formula again.
- Confirm the parameter order and separators, then press Enter again.
What should I check if the BINOM.DIST result does not match my expectation?
- Check whether the referenced cells and parameter values are correct.
- Make sure the related cells are formatted as numbers rather than text.

How can I use BINOM.DIST in multiple cells?
- Enter and confirm the BINOM.DIST formula in the first cell.
- Move the pointer to the fill handle at the lower-right corner of the cell.
- Drag down or across to cover the target range.
