Bernie, David, & Joe:

Thank you for your replies to my post. I discovered my error, it was due
to
me misreading MEDIAN in the excel help for the formula instead of Mean.
Sorry for not providing sufficient information in my original post, I will
be
more thorough next time.

I am getting a result that I beleive is incorrect using the AVEDEV
formula.
My data is .492, .580, .589, .735, .803, .819, 1.084, 1.413, 1.423 &
1.613.
AVEDEV is giving me a result of 34.3%, but when I do the calculation by
hand,
I get 31.5%. Does anyone have an idea what I might be doing wrong?
