Description: The function returns the normalized value from a distribution characterized by mean and standard_dev arguments.

Syntax: STANDARDIZE (x, mean, standard_dev)

Inside:

- x : The value you want to normalize, is a required parameter.

- mean: Arithmetic mean of distribution, is a required parameter.

- standard_dev: The standard deviation of the distribution, is a required parameter.

Attention:

- If standard_dev ≤ 0 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

- The equation for the normalized value is:

[Z = frac {{X - mu}} {sigma}]

For example:

Calculate the normalized value of the values ​​in the following data table:
