Explanation of SKEW.P function

  • Arguments can either be numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
  • Logical values and text representations of numbers that you type directly into the list of arguments are counted.
  • If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored; however, cells with the value zero (0) are included.
  • SKEW.P uses the standard deviation of an entire population, not a sample.
  • If arguments are values that are not valid, SKEW.P returns the #NUM! error value.
  • If arguments use data types that are not valid, SKEW.P returns the #VALUE! error value.
  • If there are fewer than three data points, or the sample standard deviation is zero, SKEW.P returns the #DIV/0! Error value.
