VARP Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Calculating population variance for full datasets
Understanding the VARP Formula
The VARP function in Excel computes the variance of an entire population, averaging the squared deviations from the mean. It’s designed for complete data—like all customer ratings—using Σ(x - mean)² / n.
VARP(A1:A5) with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 returns 200, assuming the full population. It skips text and blanks, focusing on numbers, providing a precise variance for total dataset analysis.
Why Use VARP?
VARP is for full sets—think total production variance or complete surveys. Its population-based (n) formula ensures accuracy across all values, not just samples, for comprehensive spread.
Example with Sample Data
| Numbers | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 10, 20, 30 | =VARP(10, 20, 30) | 66.67 |
| 5, 15, 25 | =VARP(5, 15, 25) | 66.67 |
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | =VARP(1, 2, 3, 4) | 1.25 |
VARP squares full spread: ~66.67 for 10, 20, 30. It’s a population variator.
