i am trying to evaluate 3 numbers across 3 fields - for several records. some of the fields throughout the records might be "0". how do i construct a formula that will compute standard deviation for only the non-0 numbers
so far, i have =STDEV.P(M9,O9,Q9)
thank you

Another option:
Somewhere to the right of the data, say:
In BA9: =M9
In BB9: =O9
In BC9: =Q9
Formula for standard deviation:
=STDEV.P(IF(BA9:BC9<>0, BA9:BC9))
as much as i appreciate that, there is other info and calcs that i cannot rearrange, or it would disrupt the flow of the info
thank you
Rearrange the cells so that they are adjacent, for example M9m N9 and O9.
=STDEV.P(IF(M9:O9<>0, M9:O9))
