Standard Deviation
Hi,
Could someone please advise. I want to get the standard deviation based on criteria. It looks like this. Criteria is 40 consecutive values ignoring 0 in Column A. A B 1 50 2 20 3 10 0 20 4 10 5 20 .... .... nth I use manual selection (e.g. =STDEV(B1:B3, B5:B6, etc...) that covers the 40 consecutive rows. B4 here is zero so I did not select it. My rows is getting bigger and bigger, how could I formulate this? Thanks in advance Carlos |

Standard Deviation
Try in say, C1: =STDEV(IF(A1:A40<0,B1:B40))
Array-enter the formula, i.e. press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead of just pressing ENTER -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- "Carlos" wrote in message ...

Standard Deviation
Hi Max,
First of all thanks for your advice. I'm afraid I did not give more detail of what my problem is. To give you more idea of what my goal is all about, say I limit my criteria to 5 consecutive instead of the 40 (to shorten my example below). Column C to analyze the 5 consecutive results ignoring Column A with zero : A B C 1 15 2 20 3 10 0 20 4 10 5 20 5.00 =STDEV(B5:B6,B1:B3) 0 15 blank because A7=0 6 10 5.48 =STDEV(B8,B5:B6,B2:B3) 7 20 5.48 =STDEV(B8:B9,B5:B6,B3) 0 30 blank because A10=0 8 25 6.71 =STDEV(B11,B8:B9,B5:B6) etc. I hope you get what I mean. Any further help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Standard Deviation
Perhaps it would be simpler/quicker to just add a header row, then
autofilter on col A for rows < 0, and copy paste the filtered rows to another sheet. Then over there, just put in say, C6: =STDEV(B2:B6) and copy down -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- "Carlos" wrote in message ...

Standard Deviation
Max,
Appreciate your advice. I have thought of this before posting to the group. I would have around 20 worksheets in one file and each worksheet would contain thousands of records. I have found this approach time consuming.

Standard Deviation
Apologies, I'm out of suggestions to offer you, Carlos.
Perhaps others may step in with something for you. Hang around awhile.
