I see what you are doing now.  This measure will give you the standard deviation of the sum of net amt for each Date.  This version give 1.5%.  The .S version gives 2.1%.

 

Standard Deviation =
STDEVX.P (
    DISTINCT ( 'STD Dev'[Date] ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'STD Dev'[Net Amt %] ) )
)

How did you calculate 2.1% for this data set?  3.65% looks correct.
