Default How many Standard Deviations above and below the mean each number is.

Assuming by "how many STDEV's above and below each number is", you mean how
many STDEV above/below the average, use
=(A1-AVERAGE($A$1:$A$20))/STDEV($A$1:$A$20)
best wishes

I have a list of numbers in A1:A20 that has a STDEV of 27.6. I need a
formula that I can copy down that will tell me how many STDEV's above
and below each number is. Thanks in advance PJ.
