# BETADIST

## Content

This function calculates the cumulative beta distribution function.

## Syntax

`BETADIST(x, alpha, beta, [lower], [upper])`

## Arguments

This function has these arguments:

| Argument | Description |
| -------- | ----------- |
| *x* | [Required] Value at which to evaluate the function, between the values of lower and upper |
| *alpha* | [Required] Alpha parameter of the distribution |
| *beta* | [Required] Beta parameter of the distribution |
| *lower* | [Optional] Lower bound of the interval for x; 0 if omitted |
| *upper* | [Optional] Upper bound of the interval for x; 1 if omitted |

## Remarks

If you omit values for *upper* and lower, the calculation uses the standard cumulative beta distribution so that *lower* is zero and *upper* is one.

## Examples

`BETADIST(3,B3,C3,2,4)`
`BETADIST(3,R3C2,R3C3,2,4)`
`BETADIST(3,6,9,2,4)` gives the result 0.7880249023
