VAR Formula Syntax

=VAR(A1:A5)

Example Use Case

Estimating sample variance for variability analysis

Understanding the VAR Formula

The VAR function in Excel calculates the variance of a sample, showing the average squared deviation from the mean. It’s a statistical measure for variability—like stock price swings or test score spread—assuming a sample dataset.

VAR(A1:A5) with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 returns 250, using Σ(x - mean)² / (n-1). It ignores text and blanks, focusing on numbers, offering a squared metric of dispersion for sample analysis.

Why Use VAR?

VAR quantifies spread—think risk analysis or data consistency. Its sample-based (n-1) formula adjusts for small sets, providing a foundation for standard deviation and statistical insights.
