STDEVP Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Calculating population standard deviation for full datasets
Understanding the STDEVP Formula
The STDEVP function in Excel computes the standard deviation for an entire population, measuring spread from the mean. It’s suited for complete datasets—like all employee salaries—using the population formula √(Σ(x - mean)² / n).
STDEVP(A1:A5) with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 returns ~14.14, assuming all data is present. It ignores text and blanks, focusing on numbers, offering a precise measure for full population analysis.
Why Use STDEVP?
STDEVP is for whole sets—think census data or total production runs. Its population-based (n denominator) approach ensures accuracy when you have all values, not just a sample.
Example with Sample Data
| Numbers | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 10, 20, 30 | =STDEVP(10, 20, 30) | 8.16 |
| 5, 15, 25 | =STDEVP(5, 15, 25) | 8.16 |
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | =STDEVP(1, 2, 3, 4) | 1.12 |
STDEVP tracks full spread: ~8.16 for 10, 20, 30. It’s a population measurer.
