Standard Dev of count of data (monthly)

I have data in power bi in the table in below form:

 

IDDateFailure
11/1/2021A
21/2/2021B
31/17/2021C
42/4/2021A
52/15/2021D
64/6/2021D
77/10/2021C
88/12/2021B
99/9/2021A
1012/30/2021E

 

And I need to calculate standard deviation of individual failure (for A,B,C....) counts in past 12 months.

Failure CountsAprMayJunJunJulJulyAugSepStandard Dev
A15356789=+STDEV.S(J21:Q21)
B27589111214=+STDEV.S(J22:Q22)
C54569172=+STDEV.S(J23:Q23)
D41308345=+STDEV.S(J24:Q24)
E31367901

=+STDEV.S(J25:Q25)

 

 

 

Something like this

FailureStd Dev
A2.5
B2.5
C3.5
D4
E1.2

 

Can someone please help me?

Hey @nakul555 ,

 

that should be possible with the function STDEV.S

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Hello @selimovd,

 

The issue is how to calculate the count monthly so that its standard dev can be calculated.

 

Currently I have 

 

Failure Code Monthly = CALCULATE(COUNTX(FirstTable, 'FirstTable'[ID]), DATESINPERIOD('Work Detail'[Date],EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1),-12,MONTH))
 
Std Dev = VAR SD = STDEVX.S(VALUES('FirstTable'[Month]),[Failure Code Monthly])
RETURN
IFERROR(SD,0)
And it not giving the correct result
