DESCRIPTIVESTATISTICS(Array, GroupBy, ConfidenceLevel, KthLargest, KthSmallest, IsFirstRowLabels, NewTableFlag)
where,
- is array of integers or reference to the cells containing array,
- is a method that performs the analysis by Columns or Rows,
- represents the confidence level for mean of data points and is between 0 to 100,
- represents the Kth largest value for each range of data,
- represents the Kth smallest value for each range of data,
- is a logical value that determines if the first row has any label,
- is a logical value that determines how the output should be displayed.
DESCRIPTIVESTATISTICS() calculates a range of statistical measurements and summarizes them into a table.
Description
DESCRIPTIVESTATISTICS(Array, GroupBy, ConfidenceLevel, KthLargest, KthSmallest, IsFirstRowLabels, NewTableFlag)
- can be numbers or can be names, arrays or references containing numbers.
- Values containing text, logical values or empty cells are ignored.
- Argument can be "Rows" or "Columns".
- If < '0' or > '100', Calci displays an error message.
