Description

The Excel EXPONDIST function returns the exponential distribution based on the given x value and the parameter of the distribution.

Note: This function has been replaced with EXPON.DIST function that may provide improved accuracy after Excel 2010 version. This function is still can be available but considering it may be not available in the future, you should better study to use the new function from now.

Syntax and arguments

Formula syntax

EXPONDIST(array1,array2,cumulative)

Arguments

  • Lambda: Required, the parameter of the distribution. It must be ≥ 0.
  • Cumulative: Required, a logical argument that specifies the type of the exponential function to be returned.
      TRUE: returns the cumulative distribution function;
      FALSE: returns the probability density function.

Remarks
