The function STDEVPA in Google Sheets calculates the standard deviation of a population based on a set of values.

The syntax for the STDEVPA function is as follows:

STDEVPA(value1, [value2, …])

value1, value2, …: These are the individual values or ranges of values for which you want to calculate the standard deviation. You can provide up to 255 arguments or ranges.

The STDEVPA function considers the entire population when calculating the standard deviation.

It is commonly used when you have data for an entire population and want to calculate the standard deviation based on that data.

Here's an example to illustrate how to use the STDEVPA function in Google Sheets:

Let's say you have a column of numbers in cells A1 to A10, and you want to calculate the standard deviation of the population based on those values. You can use the following formula:

=STDEVPA(A1:A10)

This formula will return the standard deviation of the population for the values in cells A1 to A10.

Remember that the STDEVPA function is different from the STDEVP function, which calculates the standard deviation based on a sample from a population.

If you have a sample of data and want to calculate the sample standard deviation, you should use the STDEVP function instead.
