    Re: If statement with standard deviation not giving correct value

    Yes sir, entered as an array. I even checked it both if it includes blanks as zeros (there are a few but not many) and it still was way way off the actual stdev.

    Did you enter it as an array formula?

    Array formulas are entered differently than a regular formula.
    After you type in a regular formula you hit the ENTER key.
    With an array formula you *must* use a combination of keys.
    Those keys are the CTRL key, the SHIFT key and the ENTER key.
    That is, hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then
    hit the ENTER key.

    When done properly Excel will enclose the formula in squiggly
    brackets { }. You can't just type these brackets in, you
    *must* use the key combo to produce them. Also, anytime
    you edit an array formula it *must* be re-entered as an
    array using the key combo.

    Empty cells in the range 'All Subject Data'!$J$2:$J$5220 will be evaluated as 0.

    See post #4 for a method to account for those.
