SKEW Function

SKEW measures the symmetry of a distribution. A positive skew result indicates a distribution that tails off to the right. A negative skew result indicates a distribution that tails off to the left. In a perfectly symmetrical distribution, the skew is zero. The count of values in each group are the inverse of each other. There are four 1’s in group A, four 5’s in group B, etc. A positive result indicates a distribution that tails off to the right....
