How to calculate the Normalized Standard Deviation in Power Bi?

Hello, 

 

I have 16 employees from 2 countries.
The Dataset contains multiple records for each employee.
 
1. I need to show Total Salary per employee/country based on filters content (i.e months, country)
Salary = SUM ( dimSalaryPerEmployee[Salary]  )
2. I need to show Average Salary per employee/country based on filters content (i.e months, country)
Avg = AVERAGE ( dimSalaryPerEmployee[Salary] )
3. I need to show Normalized Std of Salary per employee/country based on filters content (i.e months, country)
Std =  STDEV.S ( dimSalaryPerEmployee[Salary)
 
I need to have a Normalized Std measure per country! Meaning each employee will be evaluated in its own country.
Normalized Std = (Salary-Avg)/Std
How can I tell Dax to use an Avg for the country that is in the current context?

Seems like you could just wrap those measures in a CALCULATE with a FILTER for the country or maybe I don't understand what you are asking for?

I believe you understand perfectly 🙂

 

I tried,

Normalized Std = calculate((Salary-Avg)/Std,ALL(dimCountries[Country])

and of course it doesn't work...

 

I think I need to do 

Normalized Std = calculate((Salary-Avg)/Std,FILTER(dimCountries[Country]=????)

 but I don't know what to put in the ????

 

Thank you for the help,

Tamir

 

 

 

Well, you could create two measures, one for each country and then you would just plug in the country name in double quotes.
