As you know, the Standard Error = Standard deviation / square root of total number of samples, therefore we can translate it to Excel formula as "Standard Error = STDEV(sampling range)/SQRT(COUNT(sampling range))".
For example, your sampling range is paced in the Range B1:G4 as below screenshot shown. You can select the cell you will place the calculated result, type the following formula, and press the "Enter" key.
=STDEV(B1:G4)/SQRT(COUNT(B1:G4))

Now you can see the calculated standard error of the mean, as shown in the screenshot below:
