SUMMARY
In a Works 4.0 spreadsheet, the description for the STD function in the Insert Function and EasyCalc dialog boxes is incorrect.



MORE INFORMATION
The description incorrectly uses the VAR function in the example. VAR is a separate function. The correct description should read:

Calculates the standard deviation of a population, based on samples in RangeRef0,RangeRef1,etc.; e.g. STD(B2:F2).

The incorrect description reads:

Calculates the standard deviation of a population, based on samples in RangeRef0,RangeRef1,etc.; e.g. VAR(B2:F2).

Additional query words: 4.00 4.00a 4.50 w_works wrong variance
