Hi,
These are two of my tables joined on QuestionID:
I want to calculate a Z-Score using the average of all questions within each [Phys Content Area 1] for each student.
I can get the mean for the student per [Phys Content Area 1]:
CALCULATE(AVERAGE(fact_results[ResultPercentage]), ALLEXCEPT(dim_question, dim_question[Phys Content Area 1]))
I can get the mean for the cohort per [Phys Content Area 1]:
CALCULATE(AVERAGE(fact_results[ResultPercentage]), ALLEXCEPT(dim_question, dim_question[Phys Content Area 1]), ALLEXCEPT(fact_results, dim_question[Phys Content Area 1]))
But calculating the standard deviation is tricker because it first needs to average the results for each student per [Phys Content Area 1] before calculating the standard deviation. CHATGPT gives me this (which I have tried fixing), but I get 'Parameter is not the correct type.'
Thank you so much.

It took me 3 hours of trying various things, but I finally got it working using this measure:
