KURT

Definition: KURT is a function that returns the kurtosis of a data set, which is a measure of the peakedness and tails of the distribution.

Syntax: =KURT(number1, [number2], …)

Situation: This formula is appropriate when you need to find the kurtosis of a data set.

Example: If you have a set of numbers 2, 4, 6, and 8, the kurtosis can be found using the formula =KURT(2, 4, 6, 8), which returns -2.
