STDEVPA

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

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

Situation: This formula is appropriate in situations where you need to find the standard deviation of a population 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 =STDEVPA(A1:A10). This would return a value that indicates the standard deviation of the population, including the text values.
