I have just found that OpenOffice.org-Calc uses the following functions:


"GAMMADIST(number, alpha, beta, C)  	Returns the values of a Gamma cumulative 
distribution. Number is the value for which the Gamma distribution is to be 
calculated. Alpha is the parameter Alpha of the Gamma distribution. Beta is 
the parameter Beta of the Gamma distribution. C = 0 calculates the density 
function, and C = 1 calculates the distribution.

GAMMAINV(number, alpha, beta) 	Returns the inverse of the Gamma cumulative 
distribution. This function allows you to search for variables with different 
distribution. Number is the probability value for which the inverse Gamma 
distribution is to be calculated. Alpha is the parameter Alpha of the Gamma 
distribution. Beta is the parameter Beta of the Gamma distribution.

GAMMALN(number) 	Returns the natural logarithm of the Gamma function, G(x), 
for the given number."
