Thanks again senor Jerrod.
I understand phi now thanks. And to give a little something back to 2+2 community to calculate the phi of a value in Excel use NORMSDIST function.

I'm still baffled though in at least one spot. I worked out that exp(2.768141347) = 15.929, but the figure in brackets here appears to be equal to 45668.86716, the exp(45668.867169) is massive of course. Am I reading the equation wrong or missing out on a bracket somewhere? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
