Unexpected Result Using STDEV

Jul 21, 2009

I'm using the following formula to calculate the % relative standard deviation of 5 values:

ROUND((STDEV(C8:C12)/AVERAGE(C8:C12)*100),6)

where C8 through C12 are all 3.48.

I was surprised to see the result of 0.000002, and not 0.000000. This formula seems to be accurate to 6 decimal places when using 5 values that are not all the same. When they are the same, I get this small discrepancy in the 6th decimal place. I attempted to troubleshoot by inspecting C8 through C12. The values were typed in as seen above (3.48) and the cell formatting is set to 2 decimals in each of these cells, so the cells themselves shouldn't be contributing to the issue.

Find Method Unexpected Result

Apr 18, 2006

I am using the find method to search column headings, and based on the results copy the column to another worksheet. Everything works fine except if I have a mixed text and numeric string in the cell, for example DT35. In this case the macro doesn't copy this column. I have attached the spreadsheet. CTRL - A will run the macro. The macro calls a form with checkboxes, captioned using the values in the worksheet titled "Set-Up". If a value is found in the column heading the checkbox is set to true, then when the "Copy Selected Columns to Final Sheet" button is selected the columns are copied to the "FinalSheet" worksheet. I tried using xlPart instead of xlWhole, and this works but I need to search for exact strings so xlPart isn't a great work around.

MATCH Function Returns Unexpected Result

Dec 3, 2013

In the attached file I used =MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($B$2:$B$10="",0)) to retrieve the location of the first empty cell.

When using the "Evaluate Formula" tool, it is clear that the position in the array created by the INDEX function is the 6th. Nevertheless, the final outcome is 9, being the last cell in range.

False If Result Yields Unexpected Error

May 27, 2007

If I create a simple conditional statement in a cell:

=IF(A8="NX-QSNT",B8, "")

I get the expected B8 cell contents when "NX-QSNT" exists in A8, or blank when it doesn't.

If instead of qualifying this full string, I try to Search for the "-QS" string in that cell as the criteria:

=IF(SEARCH("-QS",A8),B8, "")

I get the expected B8 cell contents when "NX-QSNT" exists in A8, but I get "#VALUE!" if it does not find this "-QS" string.

I'm guessing it may be because SEARCH isn't actually returning a TRUE/FALSE response, but rather, a numeric one based on the position of "-QS". I tried using a numeric approach also, but this didn't help:

=IF(SEARCH("-QS",A8) > 0,B8, "")

Calculate STDEV For Mid-95% Of Data

Aug 25, 2009

I have a worksheet containing data in columns. For each column, I would like to calculate the standard deviation of the mid-95% of the values i.e. 2.5th percentile to 97.5th percentile (to reduce the effect of "outliers").

So first of all I calculate the values of the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles:

A102 (2.5th percentile) = PERCENTILE(A1:A100,0.025)
A103 (97.5th percentile) = PERCENTILE(A1:A100,0.975)

Then using an array formula shamelessly plagiarized from this very website, I calculate the standard deviation of the values that lie in that range:

{=STDEV(IF((A1:A100>=A102)*(A1:A100

Stdev Using Most Recent Data From List

Aug 2, 2006

If I have 50 data points sorted in order (oldest --> newest), how do I do a stdev function that will only pull the 24 most recent points?

Essentially, I have 14 columns with 50 data points each. At the end of the list (or maybe beginning - under the column header) I want to do a stdev calculation referring to the most recent 24 points and a second for the most recent 36 points.

Excluding Cells With Errors Or Zeroes Before Doing STDEV

Mar 15, 2013

I'd like to calculate the standard deviation and mean of a whole load of data. Unfortunately it has some errors, FALSE values, blank cells and zeroes I'd like to exclude. Calculating the average is no problem as the AVERAGEIF function works fine, but there is no equivalent for STDEV. The (array) formula

STDEV(IFERROR(E29:E32,FALSE))

ignores the cells with errors and calculates the SD, and the (array) formula

STDEV(IF(E29:E32>0,E29:E32,FALSE))

ignores the cells with a value of 0 in them and calculates SD.

How can I combine the two into one formula?

STDEV With Multiple Criteria With Blank Cells

Dec 24, 2013

I have trouble with calculating standard error with multiple criteria. Below is the formula I used:

=STDEV(IF($J$2:$J$25="A",IF($K$2:$K$25="B",IF($L$2:$L$25=1,M2:M25))))/SQRT(COUNTIFS($J$2:$J$25,"A",$K$2:$K$25,"B",$L$2:$L$25,1,M2:M25,""))

The problem is the blank cells in the range that I am calculating (M2:M25). Everything is alright if there were no blank cells in M2:M25. If there were any blank cells, however, the STDEV was wrong (the countifs part was correct). It treated the blank cells as zero.

Floating Range For Excel Functions - Calculating Stdev And Average

Jan 22, 2014

I need to calculate a Stdev and Average based on a specific range. However, my range is not constant in the time. For instance, today I may need to calculate these functions based on 30 numbers, but tomorrow on 25 or 15 or 50...

Is there a way to automate this process by changing the number of data points to include in the range in one single cell and avoid manually adjusting the range in accordance with needed data points?

In other words, I would like to change the value, let's say in Cell A1 from 30 to 50 and then Excel would re-calculate the StDev and Average based on 50 data points and not 30. Is that possible?

Unexpected Standard Deviations Results

Dec 2, 2009

In the attached worksheet, we track thickness of a variety of products and record them based upon lot number. I am trying to perform statistical analysis of those products and plot the averages.

Our products are in roll form. We cut to specific widths and lengths from these "master" rolls. We take 3 measurements across the width and several times throughout the roll length. We can have multiple rolls making up 1 lot and due to demand switch between products and try to use FIFO but that doesn't always work. I have keying in historical data and realized my standard deviation is way off but I don't know why.

TextBox Setfocus Unexpected Call

Jan 31, 2010

I've got a user form with 12 textbox, one for each month a total textbox number 13 and a 14th text box (TB28) to enter $'s in.

AfterUpdate in each textbox 1-12 posts its value to a worksheet all values are summed in a =sum range which in turn populates textbox 13. When TB13.text = 100.00 it sucessfully calls a number of routines but what I can't get it to do is set focus on TB28.

Private Sub TextBox13_Change()
If TextBox13.Text = "100.00" Then
With FormPhasedAmt.TextBox28
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(TextBox28.Text)
.SetFocus
End With
End If
End Sub

It returns a Run time error Unexpected call to method or property access highlighting .SetFocus. The rest of the code works OK. Is it because other textbox on the same user form have text highlighted because of the tab order?

Simple Formula Using IF And SUM - Yields Unexpected Error

Apr 25, 2014

Using this formula for a bank account,

=IF(SUM(C2-A1+B1)=C1, "match", "NO match")

down a column of about 3000 rows, yields only one cell with an unexpected and probably incorrect response in G2 with a "NO Match" - where the math is correct ?

A B C D
63.58 0.00 -54.97 match
64.57 0.00 8.61 NO match
128.21 0.0073.18 match
201.39

Details:

Attachment is included;
temp2.xlsx

in a bank account file, where "C2" is the previous balance, "C1" is the current balance, "A1" is any check written, "B1" is any deposit applied.

Excel 2010 :: Using VBA For Sub-Totaling Returning Unexpected Values

May 8, 2014

This relates to this thread - [URL] .....

This is the only macro in this file

[Code] .....

It will perform the sub-totalling for the column that has the current active cell

When I select Column I

It does.....
-for each blue cell it finds it provides a total of all the white cells bellow it
-for each yellow cell it find it provides a total of all the blue cells bellow it until it reaches a yellow cell

It works backwards, so not exactly as I've just described, but that isn't the problem

Problem is -
UK Excel 2010 - results are as expected
US Excel 2010 - returns zero values for totals

We've possibly narrowed the problem down to when it looks at cell properties, more specifically -- If Cells(rowX, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 20 Then

How to get results in blue and yellow cells when you select a cell in column K then execute the CreateTotals macro.

VLOOKUP Formula Dragdown Copies Previous Cell Result Instead Of Unique Result

Jun 10, 2014

When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.

When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.

I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.

Copy Formula Result & Paste Value/Result Only

My aim is to simply copy the increments of 1 - 600 into another column. However when i copy and paste i'm also copying the initial underlying formula ie: =( A?+1), Is there a way to copy the results, not the formula?

Fill In The 3 Criteria Fields, Calculate The Result, Copy The Result, And Place It Into The Correct Place On The Table

Oct 19, 2006

I have a macro that imputs data from an external database and puts it into a temporary worksheet. This data has 3 columns (ID, Date, Amount). I am then making another sheet which has X number of tables (one for each ID), with the years being the column headings, and months being the row headings. ie.

| ID X
| +------+------+------+--->
| | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Jan | $100 | $250 | $300 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Feb | $200 | $300 | $200 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Mar | $300 | $250 | $100 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Sum | $600 | $800 | $600 |
| +------+------+------+--->

| ID Y
| +------+------+------+--->
| | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Jan | $100 | $250 | $300 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Feb | $200 | $300 | $200 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Mar | $300 | $250 | $100 |
+------+------+------+------+--->
| Sum | $600 | $800 | $600 |
| +------+------+------+--->

Currently I have a few hidden fields for the DSUM Criteria. I start making the tables. And then filling in table based off of the month and year. Doing so I need 3 criteria:
>= First Day of the Month
<= Last Day of the Month
= ID #

The problem is it takes Excel too long to fill in the 3 criteria fields, calculate the result, copy the result, and place it into the correct place on the table. Is there another way to get this data into the correct tables faster? Instead of using DSUM?
