FAQ
What should I do if NORMSDIST returns an error value?
- Check whether the parameter is a valid number instead of text, extra spaces, or an invalid reference.
- Confirm that the formula is complete, including the equal sign, parentheses, and parameter separator.
- Clean the source data if needed, then enter the formula again.
Why does the NORMSDIST result look different from what I expected?
- Check whether the referenced cell is correct.
- Make sure the input used in the calculation is stored as a number rather than text.
- Review the parameter values again and compare them with the function syntax guidance.
How can I use NORMSDIST in multiple cells at once?
- Enter the full formula in the first target cell.
- Move the pointer to the fill handle at the lower-right corner of the cell.
