Exploring NEGBINOMDIST: Advanced Excel Techniques
Mastering NEGBINOMDIST Function in Excel
Using NEGBINOMDIST Function in Excel - Illustrated Examples
Syntax: NEGBINOMDIST(number_f, number_s, probability_s)
Where:
- number_f: Mandatory - Number of Failures.
- number_s: Mandatory - Number of Success Threshold.
- probability_s: Mandatory - Success Probability.
Example:
You input the actual values corresponding to the function parameters in Excel cells. In this example, we calculate with the parameter values: Number of Failures is 8, Number of Success Threshold is 5, and Success Probability is 0.45:
Enter the formula in cell C9. And the calculated result of the function is 0.076483769:
So now you know how to use the NEGBINOMDIST function in Excel. With the parameter values in the function, you need to note that the parameter regarding success probability and the two parameters regarding the number of failures and the number of success thresholds must be numeric. If these two parameters are not integers, the function will automatically convert them to integers for calculation. You can apply this function in Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 2007, and Office 2003.
