Error when create calculated column (Norm.Dist) in Power BI

Hi Experts,

 

As per title, below is my code in calculated column:
******

Normalized =
var AvgStartYear = MIN('**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Year])
var AvgeEdYear = 2022
var Mean = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Value]),ALLEXCEPT('**DM-InvestabilityIndex**','**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Type],'**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[CITY]),AND( '**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Year]>=AvgStartYear,'**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Year]<=AvgeEdYear))
var SD = CALCULATE(STDEV.S('**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Value]),ALLEXCEPT('**DM-InvestabilityIndex**','**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Type],'**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[CITY]),AND('**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Year]>=AvgStartYear,'**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Year]<=AvgeEdYear))
var ND = NORM.DIST('**DM-InvestabilityIndex**'[Value],Mean,SD,TRUE())*100
return
ND
******

HI, 

 

I finally figure out.  Normal distribution cannot have 0 standard deviation, which I have for some city, i.e. all vlaue in entire time series was the same.  I just add an if function to become 0.00000001 to minimise effect if the result was 0 to SD dax, then it works.

Hi, @Anonymous ;

Sorry I can't reproduce your formula, can you share the wrong information tip, or a simple file (after removing sensitive information)?
