# STDEVA

## Name

STDEVA --

## Synopsis

    STDEVA(number1,number2,...)

## Description

STDEVA returns the standard deviation based on a sample. Numbers, text and logical values are included in the calculation too. If the cell contains text or the argument evaluates to FALSE, it is counted as value zero (0). If the argument evaluates to TRUE, it is counted as one (1). Note that empty cells are not counted. This function is Excel compatible.

## Examples

Let us assume that the cells A1, A2, ..., A5 contain numbers and strings 11.4, 17.3, "missing", 25.9, and 40.1. Then

STDEVA(A1:A5) equals 15.119953704.
