Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: DVARP(database, field, criteria)

Parameters:

• database: The range representing the database table-like array or range from which to retrieve data.
• field: The column or field containing the values to consider for the variance.
• criteria: [Optional] The SQL-like query that specifies which records to include in the calculation.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Using DVARP with a database range:
   • Example: =DVARP(A1:C10, "B", "A > 5")
   • Result: Returns the variance of the values in column B for records where column A is greater than 5.

Use Cases and Scenarios

1. Data Analysis: Calculate the variance of a specific field in a database range based on certain criteria.
