Syntax​

GAMMA.DIST(x, alpha, beta, cumulative)

The GAMMA.DIST function has the following arguments:

ArgumentDescription
xThe value at which the function should be calculated. A numeric value greater than 0.
alphaThe first parameter of the distribution, a numeric value greater than 0.
betaThe second parameter of the distribution, a numeric value greater than 0. If beta is 1, the function returns the standard gamma distribution.
cumulativeA logical value (TRUE or FALSE) that determines the function form. If it is TRUE, the function returns the cumulative distribution function. If it is FALSE, the function returns the probability density function.
