Excel 2007 Statistics - Mean and standard deviation

I need to calculate mean and standard deviation for a large range of data. In the data are a few "outliers" that are still numbers. How can I make Excel calculate the mean and standard deviation without being influenced by the outliers?

Excel tip:

Use shortcut keys to select rows or columns

Most users use the mouse to select rows or columns. It may be more convenient to use keyboard shortcuts to do that.

The shortcut key combination to select an entire row is Shift+Spacebar.

The shortcut key combination to select an entire column is Ctrl+Spacebar.

These are pretty easy to remember as the spacebar looks like a long row (or column if you're looking at it sideways). Remember that Ctrl, beginning with C, selects columns and Shift, by a process of elimination, the rows.
