STDEVA

The STDEVA function in Google Sheets calculates the standard deviation based on a sample, setting text to the value 0.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: STDEVA(value1, value2)

Parameters:

  • value1: The first value or range to include in the standard deviation calculation.
  • value2: [Optional] Additional values or ranges to include.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using STDEVA with individual values:

    • Example: =STDEVA(3, 5, 7, 9)
    • Result: Calculated standard deviation value

  2. Using STDEVA with a range of cells:

    • Example: If A1:A5 has the values 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, then =STDEVA(A1:A5) will return the calculated standard deviation.

Use Cases and Scenarios

  1. Data Analysis: Calculate the standard deviation of a dataset.
  2. Quality Control: Determine the variability of product measurements.
  3. Test Scores: Analyze the spread of student scores.
