In Google Sheets, the VARP function is used to calculate the variance of a population based on a set of values.

It takes one or more arguments representing the values for which you want to calculate the variance. Here's the syntax:

VARP(value1, [value2, …])

value1: The first value or cell reference corresponding to the data set.

value2, …: Additional values or cell references representing the data set (optional).

The VARP function considers the entire population while calculating the variance, meaning it divides the sum of squared differences by the total number of values.

This differs from the VAR function, which calculates the sample variance and uses a slightly different formula.

To use the VARP function, you can provide the values directly in the formula or reference a range of cells containing the values. For example:

=VARP(A1:A10) - Calculates the variance of the values in cells A1 to A10.

=VARP(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) - Calculates the variance of the provided values.

Remember to replace "A1:A10" or "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" with your own range or values, respectively.
