Is there a simple way to get this from Excel? Looking to check some numbers
I've been given, but don't know enough stats to know what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

Coefficient of Variation, CV, or coefficient of variance, equals the
standard deviation divided by the arithmetic mean. So, in Excel,

=STDEV(data_range)/AVERAGE(data_range)

It's often expressed as a percentage. So, mulitply by 100, or format the
cell as a percent.
