I am working on a project at a company in Sweden where the amount of
bacterias in food are simulated in Excel. The problem is to find a god
distribution to my strange indata:

minimum: 0.04.
mean: 0.04
maximum:1 000 000

What kind of distribution is best adapted to this strange (and
impossible) indata? I think you have to choose a mean value that is a
bit bigger than 0.04 but what kind of distributionh is that, and how
can I use it in Excel to find samples?

Thanks!
