I'm trying to understand a certain function in
Microsoft Excel. Specifically, I've encountered the term 'Stdev' and I'm not sure what it represents or how it's used. Could someone explain the meaning of 'Stdev' in Excel?

Conversely, a lower standard deviation suggests less variation and closer clustering of values.
