To calculate the variance and standard deviation of a dataset in Google Sheets using the VAR and STDEV functions, follow these steps:
Open a Google Sheets document and enter your dataset in a column or row.
In a blank cell where you want to display the variance, use the following formula: =VAR(range), replacing "range" with the cell references of your dataset. For example, if your dataset is located in cells A1 to A10, the formula would be =VAR(A1:A10).
Press Enter to get the variance result.
In another blank cell where you want to display the standard deviation, use the following formula: =STDEV(range), again replacing "range" with the cell references of your dataset. For example, if your dataset is located in cells A1 to A10, the formula would be =STDEV(A1:A10).
Press Enter to get the standard deviation result.
Google Sheets will automatically calculate and display the variance and standard deviation of your dataset using the VAR and STDEV functions, respectively.
