I am looking for a VBA led output for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc, (Generalization to digits beyond the first).

The refrence link is : Benford's law - Wikipedia

Essentially the formula to code is below the text "And the probability that d (d = 0, 1, ..., 9) is encountered as the n-th (n > 1) digit is"

Thanks
