CRITBINOM function description is wrong

<ahelp hid="HID_FUNC_KRITBINOM">Returns the smallest value for which the

Should be:

cumulative binomial distribution is greater than or equal to a criterion
value.</ahelp>

Nice catch.
Oasis says it's "greater then"
http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part2.html#CRITBINOM

MS Office says "less then" in function title description
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/excel-functions-by-category-HA102752955.aspx?CTT=1

and then it says "greater then" in function description
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/critbinom-function-HA102753199.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA102752955

LO says "less then".
Would be nice if someone could actually use this formula and say which is true. :slight_smile:

Best regards,

Sergio, can you please open bug report then and CC Andras so he can fix it?

It hardly necessary to do any testing: cumulative probability distributions start at zero and finish at one. Zero is always going to be less than any criterion value, so any result is going to correspond to the start of the distribution and be trivial. The original correspondent must be right: "greater than" is surely correct?

I don´t have an bugzilla account. Can You do it? Or someone with an account
there.

What needs to be fixed is:

If someone could do it I would appreciate it.
