How to Calculate Standard Deviation in a smartsheet?

Hi, I'm working on getting all metrics for a large project into a dashboard in smartsheets. I've been tracking a burn up chart in google sheets, but think that connecting directly to it doesn't look clean. So in an attempt to copy it over, I'm starting from scratch but can't seem to find how to do standard deviation as a function. Is this available? Do I have to create it somehow?

Thanks,

you gotta build it out, but it shouldn't be that difficult. what is your column name for the data you want to find the standard deviation for?

Helper column formula when column name is A:

=(A1 - AVG(A:A)) ^ 2

STD DEV formula when helper column name is Helper:

=(SUM(Helper:Helper) / COUNT(A:A)) ^ 0.5

Hi ProductOwner and L,

These may help:

STDEVS(range, [additional_values])

Estimates standard deviation based on a sample, ignoring logical values and text.

STDEVP(range, [additional_values])

Calculates standard deviation based on an entire population given as arguments, ignores logical values and text.

STDEVA(range, [additional_values])

Estimates standard deviation based on a sample of a population.

STDEVPA(range, [additional_values]) Calculates standard deviation based on an entire population given as arguments, including logical values and text.

Best,

Kara

Is it possible to run STDEVS for a specific vlookup range for a specific key elements, for a specific date range?

=STDEVS({RANGE},"Assignment1","Spring","2018")

little late to the party but you should be able to use collect

stdevs(collect())

Lookup Value Issues
I am trying to populate a column from Sheet A into Sheet B and Sheet C. My Lookup column for Sheet A is formatted as such so there is a ' in front to account for ones that have a leading 0 and some do not. Each ID should be 6 digits long. I made a helper column looking at this Dealer ID column to try and get rid of that…

Index Distinct Support
I would like to parse out this data by creating a listing with a row for each person, for each project they appear on, for each month. I think this would only give me the groupings anyways, but this doesnt seem to even get me started - it popped up then people have disappeared.
