How it works
Measure the spread between the extremes of a list.
FORMULA
Range = largest value − smallest value
A worked example
For 4, 12 and 7 the range is 8.
Formula & detailed explanation
At least one value is required; a one-value list has range zero. Up to 1,000 values.
Calculations use decimal arithmetic with 40 significant digits internally. Choose 0–8 decimal places for the displayed result. Trailing zeros are omitted. Rounding affects only the displayed and copied result; very small values may round to zero. Accepted inputs have up to 100 characters and magnitudes from 10⁻¹⁰⁰ to 10¹⁰⁰, plus zero.
