Written by The STDEVA function in Excel is a statistical tool designed to calculate the standard deviation of a dataset while accounting for both text and logical values. It provides insights into the variability of a dataset, making it invaluable for data analysis in various fields. Unlike the standard deviation functions that ignore non-numeric values, STDEVA includes them by treating “TRUE” as 1, “FALSE” as 0, and any text as 0, thus offering a comprehensive evaluation of a dataset’s spread.
