STDEVA
Definition
Calculates the standard deviation based on a sample, setting text to the value '0'.
Sample Usage
STDEVA(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
STDEVA(A2:A100)
Syntax
STDEVA(value1, [value2, ...])
value1
- The first value or range of the sample.value2, ...
- Additional values or ranges to include in the sample.
Notes
Although
STDEVA
is specified as taking a maximum of 30 arguments, Excellentable supports an arbitrary number of arguments for this function.If the total number of values supplied as
value
arguments is not at least two,STDEVA
will return the#NUM!
error.STDEVA
sets each text value encountered to0
for the purpose of calculation. To return an error upon encountering text, useSTDEV
.STDEVA
calculates standard deviation for a sample. To calculate standard deviation across an entire population, useSTDEVPA
.STDEVA
is equivalent to the square root of the variance, orSQRT(VARA(...))
using the same dataset.
