STDEVA

Definition: The STDEVA function in Excel is used to find the standard deviation of a set of data, including text and logical values.

Syntax: ==STDEVA(value1, [value2], …).

Situation: This formula is appropriate in situations where you need to find the standard deviation of a set of data that includes text and logical values.

Example: If you have a range of data A1:A10 that includes both numbers and text values, you would use the formula =STDEVA(A1:A10). This would return a value that indicates the standard deviation of the data, including the text values.
