GAMMA.DIST

GAMMA.DIST: Returns the gamma-distribution probability at `x` for shape `alpha` and scale `beta`.

Summary

GAMMA.DIST supports cumulative and density modes for right-skewed waiting-time models.

Remarks

  • Requires x >= 0, alpha > 0, and beta > 0.
  • Set cumulative to non-zero for CDF mode, or 0 for PDF mode.
  • Returns #NUM! when any parameter is outside its valid range.
  • Invalid numeric coercions propagate as spreadsheet errors.
