Hi!
I am trying to calculate a standard deviation on weighted average price per market.
I have the table below [Date]:
| Date | Market | Scenario | Price | Quantity |
| 1/01/2018 | A | 03. Mix | 95.0 | 647.0 |
| 1/01/2018 | B | 03. Mix | 100.0 | 844.0 |
| 1/01/2018 | C | 03. Mix | 51.0 | 829.0 |
| 1/02/2018 | A | 03. Mix | 57.0 | 19.0 |
| 1/02/2018 | B | 03. Mix | 90.0 | 603.0 |
| 1/02/2018 | C | 03. Mix | 66.0 | 102.0 |
| 1/03/2018 | A | 03. Mix | 58.0 | 17.0 |
| 1/03/2018 | B | 03. Mix | 61.0 | 742.0 |
| 1/03/2018 | C | 03. Mix | 91.0 | 900.0 |
In order to calculate the standard deviation, I have create a measure for the average weighted price:
Weighted Average Price =
DIVIDE(
SUMX(Data,Data[Price]*Data[Quantity]),
SUM('Data'[Quantity]),
0
)Standard deviation = STDEVX.P('Data',[Weighted Average Price])
Solved! Go to Solution.
I created a new table. You would probably not actually need to create this table in the model, but it would be used in the measures since you need to pass a column to the standard deviation function.
Test Table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMARIZE( Table5, Table5[Market], Table5[Date]),
/* Returns the total quantity of the specific market */
"Total Quanitity for Specific Market", CALCULATE(SUM( Table5[Quantity]), ALLEXCEPT(Table5, Table5[Market])),
/* Returns the total quantity, regardless of the market */
"Total Qty for All Markets", SUM( Table5[Quantity]),
/* Price * Quanitity Measure */
"Total Sold (Price * Quantity)", CALCULATE( SUMX( Table5, Table5[Price] *Table5[Quantity]))
),
/* Using the Price * Quantity measure, the denonminator is either the total sold for the specific market, or the grand total of quantity*/
"Weighted Price Based on Total of All Qty",DIVIDE([Total Sold (Price * Quantity)] , [Total Qty for All Markets]),
"Weighted Price Based on Qty of Market",DIVIDE([Total Sold (Price * Quantity)] , [Total Quanitity for Specific Market])
)Here's an explanation on what is happening in that function. Maybe a little closer to what you had in mind?
What would you want/expect the outcome to be on your sample above. I'm getting the following, but not sure it's correct or what you had in mind:
The weighted average price is correct. The standard deviation looks a bit high to me, doesn't it?
What I am not sure about is how to make sure that the selected "Market" is taken into consideration before the calculations (for the weighted average price and for the standard deviation).
