Hi. I have problem regarding the Erlang distribution. I have an equation like below:

Code:
 \integrate from Q to infinity of [(x-Q) f(x)] dx
. f(x) follow pdf of erlang distribution.
Can I solve this equation using vba?
I don't know if excel has any build in Erlang p.d.f like normal p.d.f e.g(WorksheetFunction.NormDist(x, Av, StD, False).

Welcome to the forum.

I can point you to 2 links which may help.

First, check out the GAMMA.DIST function:

According to the last remark:

When alpha is a positive integer, GAMMA.DIST is also known as the Erlang distribution.

Second, here is a link to a macro that shg provided that does numerical integration.
