standard deviation per Article - XYZ-analysis - Help please ?

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to do an XYZ analysis, but I fail because of the standard deviation ...

This is what the simplified example looks like:

At the end I need a standard deviation per article…. But I do not know how to enter it….

So far, I have grouped the articles so that article 1 only has one entry and the quantity has 60. If I then do the standard deviation, every line comes up with 0 ...

Does anyone have any idea how I can calculate the standard deviation for each article?

Many thanks

Best regards

David

Hi @StudentNeedHelp,

please read the definition of standard deviation.

in you sampleset you have only one sample per article, so the mean is the same number and the difference between the sample and mean is zero, so the standard deviation is zero also.

Standard deviation - Wikipedia

if you try to run the process with more than one sample per article (with different values) you will obtain a non zero standard deviation

Hi @StudentNeedHelp,

you can work with Aggregate Operator. There you have a lot of functionalities, also standard deviation.

Hi @StudentNeedHelp,

working with the dataset that you shown, a possible configuration for the Aggregate Operator can be:

the aggregation attributes -> Amount

aggregation function -> standard_deviation

in group by attributes select -> Article.

please find attached a simple sample.

Thanks a lot. I found my mistake, my article were already groupedy a few steps before, so I only had one Value.
