SKEW.P function
Returns the skewness of a distribution based on a population
Syntax
SKEW.P(number1, [number2])Square brackets indicate optional arguments.
Arguments
| Argument | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| number1 | Yes | The first number, cell reference, or range for which you want the skewness.A1:C3 |
| number2 | No · repeats | Additional numbers, cell references or ranges for which you want the skewness, up to a maximum of 255.4 |
Try SKEW.P
Measure distribution shape with SKEW.P
=SKEW.P(A2:A5)For the whole population, mean 3 gives average squared deviation 3.5 and average cubed deviation 4.5. Divide the latter by 3.5^(3/2). The high value 6 makes this sample asymmetric.
