*<math>n1,n2,n3... </math>  are numbers.

==Description==
 +
*This function gives the standard deviation based on a given sample including the logical value and text.
 +
*Standard deviation is a quantity expressing by how much the members of a group differ from the mean value for the group.
 +
*It is the  used as a measure of the dispersion or variation in a distribution. 
 +
*It is calculated as the square root of variance.
 +
*In <math>STDEVA(n1,n2,n3...), n1,n2,n3...</math>, are numbers to find the standard deviation.
 +
*Here  <math> n1 ,</math> is required. <math> n2,n3,..</math> are optional.
 +
*Instead of numbers we can use the single array or a reference of a array.
 +
*<math> STDEVA </math> is defined by the formula: S.D= sqrt(summation(x-x(bar))^2/(n-1), where x(bar) is the sample mean of x and n is the total numbers in the given data. 
 +
*It is calculated using "n-1" method.
 +
*This function is considering our given data is the sample of the population.
 +
*Suppose it should consider the data as the entire population, we can use the STDEVPA function.
 +
*The arguments can be be either numbers or names, array,constants or references that contain numbers.
 +
*Also we can give the text representations of numbers or logical values , like TRUE or FALSE, in a rference.
 +
*Suppose the arguments containing TRUE which is eveluate as 1, and the arguments containing FALSE which is evaluate as 0.
 +
*Suppose the array contains the empty cells and text values like that values are not considered. 
 +
*Suppose the function don't want to consider the logical values and text representations of numbers in a reference , we can use the STDEV function.
 +
*This function will return the result as error when
 +
    1. Any one of the argument is nonnumeric.
 +
    2. The arguments containing the error values or text that cannot be translated in to numbers.
