How to Calculate
Standard Deviation in
Google Sheets

Open Google Sheets and enter the dataset for which you want to calculate the standard deviation.

Click on an empty cell where you want the standard deviation result to appear.

Type the formula =STDEV(range), replacing range with the actual cell range containing your data (e.g., =STDEV(A2:A10)).

Press Enter, and Google Sheets will calculate the standard deviation for the selected data range.

If you need a sample standard deviation, use STDEV.S(), and for a population standard deviation, use STDEV.P().

Double-check the result by ensuring that the data range is correctly selected and there are no errors in the dataset.
