# KURT

## Content

This function returns the kurtosis of a data set.

## 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.

You must provide four or more value arguments. You may provide up to 255 arguments.

## 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.

## Data Types

Accepts numeric data for all arguments. Returns numeric data.

## Examples

`KURT(F1:F8)`

`KURT(R1C6:R8C6)`

`KURT(F1:F8,G1:G8)`

`KURT(35,31,47,51,37,31,58,39)` gives the result -0.7496238078
