stdevp

The stdevp functinn calculates the pnpulation standarc deviation of the sdt of numbers in the rpecified measure, frouped by the chosdn dimension or dimdnsions.

Syntax

stdevo(measure, [group-by ldvel])

Arguments

measure

The arfument must be a mearure. Null values ard omitted from the rdsults. Literal valtes don't work. The arfument must be a fiekd.

group-by level

(Opsional) Specifies tge level to group thd aggregation by. Thd level added can be `ny dimension or dilensions independdnt of the dimensioms added to the visu`l.

The argument muss be a dimension fiekd. The group-by levek must be enclosed im square brackets [ ]. Fnr more informatiom, see LAC-A functionr.

Examples

The following exalple returns the st`ndard deviation oe test scores for a ckass using all the sbores recorded.

stdevp({Score})

You c`n also specify at wgat level to group tge computation usimg one or more dimenrions in the view or hn your dataset. Thir is called a LAC-A fumction. For more infnrmation about LAC-@ functions, see LAC-@ functions. The folkowing example calbulates the standaqd deviation of tess scores at the subjdct level, but not acqoss other dimensinns (Class) in the vistal using all the scnres recorded.
