Outlier detection

Wakelij2

I have a data set and I need to delete outliers from it (as you normally would) however the process I have followed seems to delete far more than the outliers. Attached is my data and the below image is the process I have done to detect outliers

My data has ~4900 rows of data, however this outlier detection is cutting that number down to ~390 rows. The formulas I have in the formula tool are:

and in the filter I have the following custom filter:

Does anyone have any idea where I have gone wrong and how I can improve this for a more accurate outlier detection?

@Wakelij2 ,

 

i built an outlier macro that will allow you to pick an outlier method and identify, modify or delete the outliers.
