SKEW unbiased estimate for skewness of a distribution

Synopsis

SKEW(number1,number2,…)

Arguments

number1: first value

number2: second value

Description

Strings and empty cells are simply ignored.

Note

This is only meaningful if the underlying distribution really has a third moment. The skewness of a symmetric (e.g., normal) distribution is zero. If less than three numbers are given, this function returns a #DIV/0! error.
