Consolidating data with same dates; calculating standard deviation for process control chart

Hi, here is a sample data set for the type of problem that I have.

DateNo Observations
1/1/2024  3
1/1/2024  5
1/8/2024  2
1/8/2024  3
1/15/2024  4
1/15/2024  6

 

I would rather group by date, then calculate my standard deviation in DAX.

DateNo Observations
1/1/2024  8
1/8/2024  5
1/15/2024  10

 

Using Excel Std Dev = 2.52

How can I group dates and then find standard deviation in DAX?  I would like weekly observations on my Process Control Chart.

Hi,

I am not sure how your semantic model looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

If you are analyzing by week, I suggest having Calendar Dimension table something like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

STDEVX.S function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

 

Observation total: = 
SUM( Data[No Observations] )

 

Standard deviation: = 
STDEVX.S( ALL('Calendar'[Start of Week]), [Observation total:])
