Hi Regina, I would suggest DISTF(). It adds the benefit that all distribution functions could be grouped at some point under a DIST...() name.
DISTGAMMA() DISTPOISSON() DISTGAUSS() (reluctantly DISTNORM) There could be a shorthand form: DISTF DISTG DISTP DISTN (it is for this that I would accept DISTNORM() ) Sincerely, Leonard -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:48:43 +0200 > Von: Regina Henschel <[email protected]> > An: ux discuss <[email protected]> > CC: Calc dev <[email protected]> > Betreff: [sc-dev] Need UI name for new FDIST function > Hi all, > (CC [email protected]) > > with OpenFormula v1.2 we will get a new FDIST function.
