\"Varp<\/a><\/p>\n

It is very easy to use a Pivot Table<\/a> to summarize data for you by giving the sum, count, or average. But did you know it can give you the standard deviation and variance<\/strong> as well? This is crucial if you want to understand how volatile your data<\/strong> is!<\/p>\n

Let us explore how to get Varp in Pivot Table, this shows the variability from the average or mean value<\/strong> of the group.<\/p>\n

STEP 1:<\/strong><\/span> Here is our Pivot Table. Drag\u00a0UNITS SOLD<\/strong> to the\u00a0Values Area<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Product<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 2:<\/strong><\/span> This will default to\u00a0Sum of UNITS SOLD<\/strong>. Let us change that by clicking on the arrow and selecting\u00a0Value Field Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Product<\/p>\n

STEP 3:<\/strong><\/span> Select Varp <\/b>and click\u00a0OK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will use the Varp <\/b>function as we have the complete data (population) used in the calculation. When only a portion of the data is used, then Var <\/b>should be used instead.<\/p>\n

\"Product<\/p>\n

Now you have your Variance.<\/p>\n

\"Product<\/p>\n

Did you know that the square root<\/a> of the variance<\/strong> will give you the standard deviation<\/strong> value? Click here<\/strong> to learn how!<\/p>\n
