Default How do I calculate outliers in Excel?

Is there a way for excel to automatically determine outliers in a given data
set and exclude them from future calculations?

Default How do I calculate outliers in Excel?

One way would be to calculate the standard deviation of the set. Make a
decision as to how many sigmas you want to exclude. Sort the data by the
calculated deviation and discard the outliers.
