Default Newbie at this---Getting to third standard deviation

If you have calculated the standard deviation of a distribution, then three
standard deviations above the mean is just the mean plus 3 times the standard
deviation.

I've been tasked to getting to the third standard deviation. I know
Excel has the STDDEV function, but that only takes you to the first
deviation, right?

Is there a way to use the STDDEV function in Excel to get to the third
deviation?

Any help you have on this would be appreciated.
