Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
