GAUSS

GAUSS: Returns the standard normal area between `0` and `z`.

Summary

GAUSS computes NORM.S.DIST(z, TRUE) - 0.5, preserving the sign of z.

Remarks

  • Positive z returns a positive area; negative z returns a negative area.
  • GAUSS(0) returns 0.
  • Output magnitude is always less than 0.5.
  • Invalid numeric coercions propagate as spreadsheet errors.
