Calculating STDEV and other Calcs based on another cells value
=STDEV(IF((Team="Pirates")*(ISNUMBER(MATCH(Pitcher ,{"joe","bob","scott"},0))),B1:B10))
Where Team and Pitcher are named ranges.
Don't forget to array enter!

Hello,
I am trying to calculate a standard deviation on a column if another
column
contains a certain value. I have been able to calculate the average
using
the AverageIFS function, but can't find a way to do it for the stdev
function. For example, if there are 3 people throwing a base ball and
I
have
entered 20 data points for each. I would like to calculate the
standard
deviation based on if the name equals "Joe, "Bob" or "Scott".
Thanks,
Scott
