Default Confidence function

I need to know about the output of the confidence funtion in Excel. I used
the expression... =confidence(0.01, STDEV, 164). The stdev changes for every
row of data and I want the 99% confidence level. The sample size is 164.
The result from the calculation for the funtion is one number which changes
with every row. What does this number mean?
