How can use the Openoffice function "HYPGEOMDIST" into my asp.net web application referencing its .dll file or namespace.

Currently i am using the MS Office "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll" for the same.

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

HYPGEOMDIST: Returns the hypergeometric distribution.
Syntax:      HYPGEOMDIST(X; NSample; Successes; NPopulation)
X:           the number of results achieved in the random sample.
NSample:     the size of the random sample.
Successes:   the number of possible results in the total population.
NPopulation: the size of the total population.

It will be far simpler to calculate the value directly than to call the Calc function from an external application. The calculation is easily done in a dozen lines in any decent programming language. I doubt if you can call the Calc function without installing large parts of the Open Office application. AOO is an integrated system; you can't install selected bits and pieces of it. Even if you install the whole suite, it will be more challenging to determine how to utilize the Calc function than it will be to do the calculation yourself.

Read about the Probability Mass Function (pmf) of the Hypergeometric distribution. In this reference N (population size) is the same as NPopulation above, K (number of success states in the population) is Successes above, n (number of draws) is NSample above, and k (number of successes) is X above. Read about binomial coefficients if you're not familiar with how to calculate them.

For such a question about source code, you should ask the dev mailing list.

You can lookup the code in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ or search with http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/
And the Wiki pages https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Calc/I ... _Functions tell you, what files are all affected by Calc functions.

The function HYPERGEOMDIST() is in main/sc/source/core/tool/interpr3.cxx, the method ScInterpreter::ScHypGeomDist()
