| | | The standard deviation is a measure of how widely values are dispersed from the average (or mean) value. |
| | | Arguments that are text or logical values are ignored. |
| | | If you want to count any arguments that are text or logical values you can use the STDEVPA() function. |
| | | You can also use a single array or a reference to an array instead of arguments separated by commas. |
| | | The standard deviation is calculated using the "biased" or "n" method. |
| | | 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 (826406). |
