------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Apr 24 06:35:26 +0000 2009 ------- STDEV should return 0 when all numbers are equal. Enter 1e+30 in A1, A2, A3, and =STDEV(A1:A3) in A4. The result should be 0, but it is 172367517075721. (Wrong) Suggested fixes: Centre data before calculating STDEV, use a better algorithm. Some Excel versions suffer from the same problem: see http://www.daheiser.info/ excel/frontpage.html link to Note O. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
