See Help for LOGINV. You are attempting to calculate EXP(8500+3000*x) where
it should be true that ABS(x)<38.

EXP(8500) is about 12 orders of magnitude larger than the largest number
that Excel can calculate.

Hey,

v1=8500 (mean)
v2=3000 (sd)

I figured out the first part of the problem, that being that my values
are too large and excel can't handle the resulting figures.

Also, when I change v1=ln(8500) and v2=ln(3000) I end up with a result
(and even a decent one!)

But I'm still concerned that I'm not actually suppose to modify my
specified mean and sd. What do you think?

Thanks
