Syntax:
DVARP(range, condition)
Returns the population variance in the range for which the condition is satisfied.
The formula used is:
(n·Σi=n (xi2) − (Σi=n xi)2) ÷ n2
where xi is each value and n is the number of values.
Example:
DVARP(A1:A15, B1:B15>0)
returns the population variance of those cells in the range A1
to A15
whose equivalents in the range B1
to B15
are greater than zero.
See DAVG
for more examples of how to use the condition to control which cells are included.
