Population

This function computes the population variance of the values referred to by the argument.

Parameters

Return value

Returns a Number type value.

Examples

Note: If a field is assigned to a variable, for example x, the variable x will lose the characteristic of representing a group of values. Therefore, the following formula will be treated as incorrect.

Number x = @dbfield;
Number y = PopulationVariance(x); // system will prompt you that there is no such kind of function.


This function computes the population standard deviation of the values referred to by the argument.

Parameters

Return value

Returns a Number type value.

Examples

Note: If a field is assigned to a variable, for example x, the variable x will lose the characteristic of representing a group of values. Therefore, the following formula will be treated as incorrect.

Number x = @dbfield;
Number y = PopulationStdDev(x); // system will prompt you that there is no such kind of function.
