Standard deviation in Power BI

Hi Experts

 

Need help to work out the Standard deviation of the following data set as shown below

 

The excel formula is = STDEVPA(Range) of the below data

 

the Answer is 5.6% of the below numbers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Measure is

STD = 
Calculate(STDEV.P(Llo_Data[Net Amt %]), Allexcept(Llo_Data,Llo_Data[Date]))

 

not getting even close with the above measure.

Need Help

    Same result without ALLEXCEPT

     

    Some transformation might need to be applied on your Excel file.

    Hi Anonymous 

    Could it be because you are using a filter "ALLEXCEPT"!! Try without it.

    STD = STDEV.P(Llo_Data[Net Amt %])

        Hey how about you share a file with us, can't keep speculating on what's wrong...

        But try STEDV.S first instead of P

    Anonymous the syntax you wrote is correct and it is producing the same value as your Excel workbook.

    Please check this sample file

     

    You may take a look at the relationships.
