VARA Formula Syntax

=VARA(A1:A5)

Example Use Case

Estimating sample variance including text and logical values

Understanding the VARA Formula

The VARA function in Excel calculates the sample variance, treating text as 0 and logical values (TRUE/FALSE) as 1/0. It’s an inclusive twist on VAR, perfect for mixed data—like responses with annotations.

VARA(A1:A5) with 10, 'text', TRUE, , 20 returns ~75, using text as 0 and TRUE as 1 in the sample formula. It counts all non-blank cells, offering a broader variance measure.

Why Use VARA?

VARA embraces variety—think surveys or flagged datasets. Its sample-based (n-1) approach and inclusivity ensure a complete view of variability, even with non-numeric entries.
