    The normal distribution is not skewed.

    The gamma distribution is skewed, and Excel will calculate its probability
    density function.

    Checked XL help for 'gamma distribution' (w/o the quotes)?

    Check Jerry's reply for whether the gamma distribution is the same as the
    normal distribution. One *cannot* be skewed, the other can be.
