SKEW

SKEW(number1 [,number2] [..])

Returns the number representing the skewness of a distribution based on a sample.

number1The first number.
number2(Optional) The second number.

REMARKS
* The Skewness of a [[Probability Distribution]] is a measure of asymmetry about its mean.
* Positive skewness indicates a distribution with an asymmetric tail extending toward more positive values.
* Negative skewness indicates a distribution with an asymmetric tail extending toward more negative values.
* You can also use a single array or a reference to an array instead of arguments separated by commas.
* The arguments must be either numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
* If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored; however, cells with the value zero are included.
* If there are fewer than three data points, or the sample standard deviation is zero, then #DIV/0! is returned.
* You can have a maximum of 255 arguments.
* You can use the KURT function to return the kurtosis for a probability distribution based on a sample.
* You can use the SKEW.P function to return the skewness for a probability distribution based on an entire population.
