NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Oct 24, 2005I know EXCEL has functions for both the NORMAL DISTRIBUTION and the
cumulative value thereof...
but is it possible to graph this data..
(I imagine if I sort the data and then calculate the ***. distributions into
a column...then chart it, it should work; BUT IS THERE ANOTHER WAY?)
Using The Binomial Distribution Function
Sep 10, 2008I have been working on a problem that requires being able to calculate the chances of any winnng a series of coin tosses with a weighted coin.
The coin has for arguments sake a 65% / 35% chance of landing heads or tails and to win the game you need to hit your side 9 times.
Can you use excel to calculate things like: If heads takes the lead 1-0, what does that mean the its overall percentage chance of winning? If the score is 7-3 to tails, what are the chances of either side gaining victory? etc, etc.
I thought that there would be a way of setting up a spreadsheet that listed the goal (first to 9, 12, 15 or whatever) and below this the percentage chance of heads and the percentage chance of tails. Then somewhere would be a box to enter the current score (0-0, 3-5, 1-1 or whatever) and beside this the current chance of heads or tails gaining victory.
I've tried setting up something like this but am a bit of a dufus when it comes to knowing how, where and when to use the different functions of excel.
Distribution Of Data From Different Dates
Jan 11, 2010I'm looking to analyse is how long these articles take to reach maturity from their date of publication (so, when they achieve their optimum performance).
I'd then like to further analyse this across various metrics like article type/producer etc., which, I guess, would be in some kind of Pivot Table filter-type-thing.
Here's an example of some of my data:
ArticleName - PublishedDate - OctViews - NovViews - DecViews - ArticleType - Producer
Article1 - Oct-08 - 3701 - 4856 - 4561 - Food - ABCTV
Article2 - Nov-08 - 0 - 9824 - 1256 - Food - ABCTV
Article3 - Oct-08 - 1358 - 8953 - 9652 - Tech - XYZ.com
Article4 - Oct-08 - 1351 - 2354 - 3562 - Tech - ABCTV
The part I'm finding tricky is this; what we'd like to do is rather than look at a specific date (say, articles published on 09/04/08) it would be useful to combine all the dates so that the first month something is published is Month 1, regardless of the date it is actually published.
As the same article can be from the same producer but published at different times, if I could remove the "Jan-Mar = Month 1-Month 3" problem it would allow us to graph all the data into one snapshot of the publishing process and find trends. If this could then be cross examinable by the ArticleType etc. it'd be really useful.
Random Distribution/Allocation
Nov 1, 2009I have a spreadsheet which has a list of staff (column B) and work categories (row 3).
Row 4 is updated each day with a count of the incoming work for each work category.
I want to be able to randomly distribute (as evenly as possible) the no of work items in Row 4 between the doers (B7:B13). Each item of work also has to be checked so I would also like to randomly distribute the checking between the checkers (B16:B18)....
Normal Distribution Graph
Nov 16, 2006Say I measure the height of 1000 people and I have those in a column in excel. It should be a normal distribution with mean x and standard deviation y. How do I actually graph it so I can see the normal distrubution curve that looks something like this:

I tried making a scatter graph but it graphs them point by point. I want the height to be on the x axis and something like frequency on the y axis.
Probability: Binomial Distribution
Nov 27, 2006There is trading system which generates a winning trade per ONE stock in ONE month’s time with a probability of 5/12 (0,4166%). If the system trades 10 independent stocks the probability of any number of winning trades occurring out of all of them in ONE month is shown below:
None 0,0046
One 0,0326
Two 0,1047
Three 0,1995
Four 0,2494
Five 0,2172
Six 0,1272
Seven 0,0519
Eight 0,0139
Nine 0,0022
Ten 0,0002
I took these values from a book…I tried to reproduce these values in the spreadsheet that I attached. My table looks as follows:
0 0,0046
1 0,0033
2 0,0023
3 0,0017
4 0,0012
5 0,0008
6 0,0006..........

Even Distribution Of Units Across All Prices
Sep 15, 2007Refer to the attached sample workbook,
(Keep in mind that there is an error in the sample workbook; Im not sure how to remove and re-attach the sample workbook as this is my first day on this forum.)
Cell F19 should contain =D19*B19
Column 1- These values will not change and represent price/cost of each UNIT
Column 2- "UNITS" the quantity or number of items at column1 value
Column 3- "$ AMT" the total cost of UNITS at that price/cost, i.e. Column1*Column2
Im looking for a way populate the values in Column2 when, "NUMBER OF UNITS" AND "AVERAGE COST PER UNIT" are changed
Ideally speaking, As few units in one row as possible to allow for a good mix.
For example: What i don't want is $9000*86 for 774k.
If it helps: "AVERAGE COST PER UNIT" will always be a whole number rounded up to the nearest 1000.
I believe a Most Even distribution of units will work fine.
After the distribution/population of fields in column2;
D29 must equal F3
F29 must equal F7
I'm looking for something that will populate the values in D12:D27 while adhering to the two conditions above. Even when the Input at F3 and F4 are changed.
The values in "UNITS" represent the number of a specific cost item in inventory when added together do not exceed the "TOTAL COST OF INVENTORY". Depending on store location, the "AVERAGE COST PER UNIT" and/or the "NUMBER OF UNITS" will change. It will be used to help forecast how many of a specific cost item should be purchased based on the overall average unit cost without exceeding the budget or inventory space.

Create A Distribution List For Outlook
Nov 27, 2006I want to email with excel, and I know how to do it if I have a distribution list already set up in outlook. I want to avoid having this DL in outlook though, and instead keep a list in the actual excel workbook. I tried having the list and then combining all the cells with a semicolon inbetween the addresses into one single cell, then assigning that cell to a variable and inserting it in the cose in place of the DL name, but it doesn't work. Apparently you can't mail to mutliple address thru the VB code, either a single address or a DL. Am I incorrect in this? So I thought maybe I could somehow create the DL first using the names in the list thru code, and then using that DL name to send the workbook.
View 9 Replies View RelatedCash Flow Distribution Modeling
Nov 24, 2004I am trying to model the distribution of cash flows from a real estate investment. This is a bit complicated, but basically A1 through A37 are a series of cash flows after payment of debt service from month 0 (closing) to month 36. The real estate project has two investors, the Institutional Investor and the Developer. In this case, the Institutional Investor contributes 90% of the required project equity and the developer contributes the remaining 10%. The cash flow is distributed according to a set of parameters specifying cash flow percentage allocations and IRR targets, collectively known as a "cash flow waterfall"." As with all for-sale residential development deals, the early cash flows are negative and then turn positive as unit sales occur. The order of distribution of the cash flow remaining after debt service is paid is as follows (the waterfall):
1. Both investors receive the return of their invested capital from cash flow distributions.
1. Hurdle 1 (after the return of equity to both investors), the Institutional Investor receives 90% of the monthly cash flows and the Developer 10%, proportional to their respective overall equity contributions, until both investors achieve a 12% IRR (all IRR's to be calculated from deal inception/first dollar invested).
2. Hurdle 2, (after Hurdle 1 is satisfied), the Institutional Investor receives 60% of the monthly cash flows until the Institutional Investor achieves an 18% IRR.
3. The Final Split (after satisfying Hurdle 2) allocates monthly cash flow 50% to each investor.
On an overall project basis, the Developer should realize a disproportionate share of the cash flow after the second hurdle is hit. This is what is known as the "promote." The most recent 36 month (37 including Closing) projected cash flows are as follows:
($1,315,567) - Closing
($113,697) - Month 1
($178,397)
($168,667)
($150,365)
($36,506)
$16,662
$120,283
$107,443
$107,443
I realize this is complicated, but this structure is quite common to real estate, private equity, venture capital and hedge fund investments (along with most any joint venture deals with multiple classes of equity participants). The canned software that is out there that performs this type of anlysis is both expensive and rigid, and doesn't typically enable the required sensitivity analysis in structuring a deal.
Random Number With Normal Distribution
Jul 19, 2006in VBA the RND function generates a random number using uniform distribution (every number is as likely as any other). Is there a function to generate a random number using normal distribution where the numbers closest to the mean are more likely to occure then numbers further away from the mean. I've created the following custom function to generate a random number between two given values using uniform distribution.
