Do you want to find out if there are any outliers in your data? You can use simple Excel formulas to calculate z-scores and identify the outliers.

~

To identify the outliers, we need to first calculate the z-scores of every data point. To do this, you need to calculate the average and standard deviation of the data first.
Z-score of a data point is defined as (data point value - average)/standard deviation.
Once all the z-scores are calculated, we then consider any data point with absolute z-score higher than 3 as an outlier.

We can further enhance the z-score analysis by calculating segment level z-scores. For example, to identify which product sales are outliers, we can calculate the z-scores by finding the average and standard deviation of product sales for that product category alone (instead of all data points) and then use the values to identify the outliers (segment-level z-score higher than 3). This will help you identify the correct outliers for business datasets.

❓ Alternative Standard Deviation formula for older Excel:
=STDEV.P(IF($C$7:$C$229=C7,$E$7:$E$229))
and press CTRL SHIFT Enter.
