Documentation/How Tos/Calc: VARP function

VARP

Returns the population variance.

Syntax:

VARP(number1; number2; ... number30)

number1 to number30 are up to 30 numbers or ranges containing numbers.

VARP returns the standard deviation where number1 to number30 are the entire population. If you only have a sample of the population use VAR instead. For a population of N values, the calculation formula is:

.

Example:

VARP(3; 3; 7; 7)

returns 4.

Issues:

• Calc assumes that logical values are 1 (TRUE) and 0 (FALSE). Excel ignores logical values.
