Hi guys,
I would like to create a measure which calculates the standard derivation of sums from a group-by action.
I have the following table:
| launch_history_id | Date | Seconds_Spend | Score | Participant_ID |
| 22484 | 17-11-2017 | 444 | 0,6 | Learner1 |
| 24771 | 23-11-2017 | 24 | 0 | Learner1 |
| 24773 | 23-11-2017 | 974 | 0,57 | Learner1 |
| 22470 | 17-11-2017 | 439 | 1 | Learner1 |
| 24801 | 23-11-2017 | 1 | 0 | Learner1 |
| 22435 | 17-11-2017 | 84 | 0 | Learner2 |
| 23319 | 20-11-2017 | 28 | 0 | Learner2 |
| 23317 | 20-11-2017 | 72 | 0 | Learner2 |
| 22483 | 17-11-2017 | 373 | 0,5 | Learner2 |
| 22481 | 17-11-2017 | 10 | 0 | Learner2 |
| 22487 | 17-11-2017 | 225 | 0 | Learner3 |
| 24878 | 23-11-2017 | 148 | 1 | Learner4 |
| 24886 | 23-11-2017 | 4 | 1 | Learner4 |
| 24887 | 23-11-2017 | 0 | 0 | Learner4 |
| 24902 | 23-11-2017 | 15 | 0 | Learner4 |
| 24905 | 23-11-2017 | 141 | 0 | Learner4 |
| 24920 | 23-11-2017 | 53 | 1 | Learner4 |
| 24921 | 23-11-2017 | 4 | 1 | Learner4 |
| 22323 | 17-11-2017 | 17 | 0 | Learner4 |
| 24924 | 23-11-2017 | 183 | 1 | Learner4 |
| 24931 | 23-11-2017 | 3 | 1 | Learner4 |
| 24929 | 23-11-2017 | 48 | 0 | Learner4 |
| 24932 | 23-11-2017 | 94 | 0 | Learner4 |
| 22456 | 17-11-2017 | 836 | 1 | Learner4 |
| 22332 | 17-11-2017 | 411 | 0 | Learner5 |
| 22434 | 17-11-2017 | 150 | 0,0204082 | Learner6 |
First,I would like to group this data by Participant_ID and sum the seconds spend to get someting like that:
| Learner1 | 1882 |
| Learner2 | 567 |
| Learner3 | 225 |
| Learner4 | 1546 |
| Learner5 | 411 |
| Learner6 | 150 |
Now I would like to calculate the standard derivation for these values. (STD:669,07)
Can I do this with the help of a single measure?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @theitguy
Try this MEASURE
Measure =
VAR MyColumn =
SUMMARIZE (
TableName,
TableName[Participant_ID],
"TotalSeconds", SUM ( TableName[Seconds_Spend] )
)
RETURN
STDEVX.P ( MyColumn, [TotalSeconds] )

Thank you very much! I did not know that I can assign tables to variables as well. 🙂
