Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: VARA(value1, value2)

Parameters:

  • value1: The first value or range to consider for the variance calculation.
  • value2: The second value or range to consider for the variance calculation.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using VARA with two values:
    • Example: =VARA(10, 15)
    • Result: The result will depend on the given values and their variance.
