How-to Guide

1. Enter the NORMDIST function

Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar

  1. Open WPS Spreadsheets and select the cell where you want to enter the formula.
  2. Type an equals sign = in the formula bar or directly in the cell.
  3. Type NORMDIST( to begin the function.
  4. Enter the required parameters and press Enter.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The cell displays a calculation result.
  • Next action: You can continue editing parameters, copying the formula, or filling it down.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you omit the equals sign, the content is treated as plain text.
  • Environment note: The number and format of parameters must match the function requirements.

2. Check the function syntax prompt

Entry point: formula bar

  1. Select a target cell and type =NORMDIST(.
  2. Watch for the syntax prompt near the input area.
  3. Review the parameter order, parameter requirements, and example format.
  4. Complete the parameters and continue entering the formula.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: A syntax prompt appears after the function is entered.
  • Next action: You can continue filling in parameters and complete the calculation.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If the opening parenthesis is missing, the prompt may be incomplete.
  • Environment note: The cell must be in an editable formula state.

3. Use cross-sheet references or nested calculations

Entry point: formula bar

  1. Type =NORMDIST( in the target cell.
  2. Enter parameters directly, or switch to another worksheet and select referenced cells.
  3. If you need a compound calculation, nest other functions or referenced results inside the parameters.
  4. Press Enter and confirm that the result updates when the source data changes.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The formula bar shows a cross-sheet reference or nested formula structure.
  • Next action: After referenced data changes, the result recalculates automatically.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Incomplete parentheses or separators can cause a formula error.
  • Environment note: Referenced cells must contain data that can be used in the calculation.
