--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Confirming.

According to OASIS OpenDocument Version 1.2,

> PHI(N) is a synonym for NORMDIST(N,0,1,FALSE()).

> NORMDIST ... returns the value of the probability density function or the cumulative distribution function ...
>
> Syntax: NORMDIST( Number x ; Number Mean ; Number StandardDeviation [ ; Logical Cumulative = TRUE() ] )

When the Cumulative is FALSE() - as in PHI(N), - it returns the PDF; when
TRUE(), it returns its integral (=CDF) - see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution_function.

Gilward Kukel, thank you for the report; and you are welcome to submit a patch
to correct this issue. This could be done online (in web UI) after you created
