=EXPONDIST(A2,B2,TRUE)EXPONDIST is the compatibility name corresponding to EXPON.DIST. For rate 0.5, the probability of waiting at most 2 time units is 1-EXP(-0.5*2). The mean waiting time is 1/rate, or 2 units. Use the modern name when creating a new formula; the old spelling is useful when reading existing workbooks.
