This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the GAUSS
function in Microsoft Excel.
Description
Calculates the probability that a member of a standard normal population will fall between the mean and z standard deviations from the mean.
Syntax
GAUSS(z)
The GAUSS function syntax has the following arguments.
Z Required. Returns a number.
Remarks
If z is not a valid number, GAUSS returns the #NUM! error value.
If z is not a valid data type, GAUSS returns the #VALUE! error value.
Because NORM.S.DIST(0,True) always returns 0.5, GAUSS (z) will always be 0.5 less than NORM.S.DIST(z,True).
