NORMINV NORMINV(p, mean, sd) returns the inverse of the
normal distribution with mean mean and standard
deviation sd.
NORMSDIST NORMSDIST(number) returns the probability for
the standard normal distribution.
NORMSINV NORMSINV(probability) returns the inverse of the
standard normal distribution.
POISSON POISSON(x, mean, type) returns the probability for the
Poisson distribution (type is true for the cumulative
distribution, false for the probability mass function).
TDIST TDIST(x, df, number-of-tails) returns the probability
for the t distribution.
TINV TINV(p, df) returns the inverse of the t distribution.
WEIBULL WEIBULL(x, alpha, beta, type) returns the probability
for the Weibull distribution (type is true for the
cumulative distribution function, false for the
probability mass function).
