Apply Standard Deviation to Timeline Data
Hello, I'm hoping anyone with experience applying standard deviation in PBI reports can help.
I'm periodically receiving reports where, for the given EquipmentType, the ReportStatus = "Problem". I'll filter for the EquipmentType using a slicer.
Based on month-by-month data, I want to create a measure that calculates the standard deviation so that I can identify when a upward spike in "problems" arises.
I'm interested to hear your suggestions in how to write this in DAX. Many thanks

Hi maibacherstr for start check https://dax.guide/stdev-p/ or other STDEV.* function. Hope this help
Hi maibacherstr without dataset, expected output for some inputs iit is hard to support you. Share sample data and expectrd output
Thanks for your patience while I was working through some confusion over doing this for the first time in Power BI. I made great headway and set up the above sample report. I'm confident the calculations are working correctly, but my last step is to visualize the standard deviation measure in the stacked bar/line graph at the bottom. For some reason, the line only registers zero when an EquipmentType is selected, whereas the line should match the stdev calculations shown elsewhere on the screen.
Thanks very much, again.
