Dynamic Standard Deviation

Hi,

 

I have a data table with the following attributes:

 

CountryEnd of WeekTotal Sales
US1/1/2022100
Canada1/1/2022150
France1/1/202275
US1/8/202240
Canada1/8/2022150
France1/8/202260
US1/8/202290
Canada1/15/202280
US1/15/202290
France1/15/2022100

 

I would like to be able to create a measure for standard deviation of the 'Total Sales' column that changes dynamically if I adjust the date range or country in a visual.  How can I do this?  

 

Thanks for your help and suggestions!!

Hi @jackj ,

Please try below steps:

1. create a measure with below dax formula

Standard Deviation of the Total Sales =
VAR cur_country =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Country] )
VAR max_date =
    MAXX ( 'Table', [End of Week] )
VAR min_date =
    MINX ( 'Table', [End of Week] )
VAR tmp =
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Country] = cur_country
            && 'Table'[End of Week] >= min_date
            && 'Table'[End of Week] <= max_date
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( STDEV.P ( 'Table'[Total Sales] ), tmp )

 2. add some visuals like below
