I am trying to fit a lognormal distribution with 3 points on the cumulative distribution function [start at 0,0; 60th percentile equal to 100 and 92nd percentile equal to 234]. I need to determine the parameters mu and sigma so that i can then simulate from this distribution but I can't seem to find any function in excel VBA that will allow me to do this. I don't have any sample mean or variance (only these 3 points on the graph). I know if it possible using other software but I need to be able to do this in Excel.

Does anyone know how this could be done? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
