SUMX2PY2 is a function in Excel that calculates the sum of the squares of the differences between corresponding values in two arrays. It is used to measure the dispersion or variability of a set of data. The function takes two arrays as input and returns a single value, the sum of the squares of the differences between the corresponding values in the two arrays.
The syntax of SUMX2PY2 in Excel is as follows:
=SUMX2PY2(array,index_num,power)
This function calculates the sum of the squares of the values in a given array, and then returns the square of the sum. The "array" argument is the range of cells to be analyzed, the "index_num" argument is the row number of the first cell in the array, and the "power" argument is the number of decimal places to which the result should be rounded.
An example of how to use SUMX2PY2 in Excel is to add the values in two columns and then divide the result by the number of rows in the first column.
