## Content

## Syntax

KURT(*value1*,*value2*,*value3*,*value4*,...)
KURT(*array*)
KURT(*array1*,*array2*,...)

## Arguments

For the arguments, you can use numbers, arrays, or references. If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, the function ignores those values; however, the function includes cells with the value zero in its calculations.

## Remarks

Kurtosis describes how peaked or flat a distribution is compared with the normal distribution. Positive kurtosis indicates a relatively peaked distribution. Negative kurtosis indicates a relatively flat distribution.
If the standard deviation of the values is zero, this function returns the #DIV/0! error value.
