This document provides instructions for using the NORMDIST and NORMINV functions in Excel to find areas under the normal curve and find x-values given areas. For NORMDIST, the user enters values for x, mean, standard deviation and selects true for cumulative to find the area from the left of the distribution to x. For NORMINV, the user enters the probability, mean and standard deviation to find the x-value corresponding to that area. Both note that results are for the cumulative area and adjustments may be needed for the area between the mean and x.
