SKEW(n1, n2, ...) |
SKEW returns an unbiased estimate for skewness of a distribution.
Note, that this is only meaningful if the underlying distribution really has a third moment. The skewness of a symmetric (e.g., normal) distribution is zero.
Strings and empty cells are simply ignored.
If less than three numbers are given, SKEW returns #DIV/0! error.
This function is Excel compatible.
Let us assume that the cells A1, A2, ..., A5 contain numbers 11.4, 17.3, 21.3, 25.9, and 40.1. Then
SKEW(A1:A5) equals 0.976798268.
