<h1>STDEV Function</h1>
<p>The <b>STDEV</b> function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to analyze the range of data and return the standard deviation of a population based on a set of numbers.</p>
<p>The <b>STDEV</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>STDEV(argument-list)</em></b></p>
2017-09-20 08:31:59 +00:00
<p>where <b><em>argument-list</em></b> is up to 255 numeric values entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note:</b> if a reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, the function will ignore those values, but treat the cells with the zero values.</p>
