Returns the standard deviation of non-null values in a set.
Syntax
STDEV(aggregate)
aggregate |
Specifies the field name or formula to aggregate. |
Remarks
- The standard deviation is a measure of how widely values are dispersed from the average value (the mean).
- This function assumes that its arguments are a sample of the population. If your data represents the entire population, then compute the standard deviation using STDEVP.
- The standard deviation is calculated using the "unbiased" or "n-1" method.
- Logical values such as TRUE and FALSE and text are ignored.
