STDEV.P is a DAX function that calculates the standard deviation based on the entire population of given arguments, ignoring logical values and text.
STDEV.P( ColumnName )| Argument | Properties | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ColumnName | A column that contains numbers corresponding to a population. |
A number representing the standard deviation of the entire population.
STDEV.P assumes that the column refers to the entire population. If your data represents a sample of the population, then compute the standard deviation by using STDEV.S.
STDEV.P uses the following formula:
√[∑(x – x̃)2/n]
where x̃ is the average value of x for the entire population and n is the population size.
Blank rows are filtered out from columnName and not considered in the calculations.
An error is returned if columnName contains less than 2 non-blank rows
This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules.
The following example shows the formula for a measure that calculates the standard deviation of the column, SalesAmount_USD, when the table InternetSales_USD is the entire population.
= STDEV.P(InternetSales_USD[SalesAmount_USD])
