STDEV(Value1, value2, ..., valueN)
Value1, value2, ..., valueN are any number of numeric values or references to numeric values that you've given to provide a sample space of your data set. If any value contains an error, then the function evaluates to the first error encountered. An error value is returned if the sample space contains no numeric values.
The standard deviation is used in statistical studies to make inferences about a larger population of data based on sampling only a subset. For well chosen samplings, a small standard deviation indicates most data points tend to cluster within a narrow range of values. A larger standard deviations indicates greater variability in the data points, and that there is a higher likelihood for values to occur farther away and/or more frequently away from the expected norm.
