VAR function

Sample variance. VAR works in Sheets with the usual arguments and results, on cells and on live data from the tools you connect.

Syntax

=VAR(number1, [number2, ...])

Argument	Use
`number1`	required, repeatable
`number2`	optional, repeatable
	required

On live data

In Sheets, VAR sits next to live data from a connected tool: =data.orders.sum(total) totals a table, =list.orders(customer) spills a column's distinct values, and a linked table column such as table.orders[Total] is a range any function accepts.
