VARP(number1 [,number2] [,…])

 
 Calculates variance based on the entire population.

 REMARKS
 
  • This function assumes that the arguments represent the entire population (as opposed to a sample).
     
  • Text and logical values such as True and False are ignored.
     
  • If you do not want to count any arguments that are text or logical values you can use the VARPA() function.
     
  • You can have a maximum of 30 arguments.
     
  • The accuracy of this function was improved in Excel 2003. For more information please refer to this Knowledge Base Article (826393).
