VCOEFVAR function

Description

VCOEFVAR(variable[,filter]) returns the coefficient of variation of a variable. The result is expressed as a percentage. An optional filter can be specified.

$$ \text{CV(%)} = 100 \times \frac{\text{SD}}{\text{Mean}} $$

Note

This function calculates a statistic on a variable. Be careful when you use this function in cells of the columns that correspond to the variable, because this actually adds a value to the variable which can lead to unexpected and faulty results. You can exclude the cell to avoid this.
