DEVSQ
Returns the sum of squares of deviations of data points from their sample mean.
Syntax
DEVSQ(number1,number2, ...)
Number1,number2, ... are 1 to 30 arguments for which you want to calculate the sum of squared deviations. You can also use a single array or a reference to an array instead of arguments separated by commas.
Remarks
- The arguments must be numbers, or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
- If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored; however, cells with the value zero are included.
- The equation for the sum of squared deviations is:
Example
DEVSQ(4,5,8,7,11,4,3)
equals 48
