Can someone please guide me. I have each SKU and would like to get total count and standard deviation. I can get sum but for 7months of data how can I get total count and standard dev?
Break the standard deviation equation into its parts and solve them bit by bit:
Standard Deviation = Square Root of ( ( each X minus average X) / number of values ).
I prefer to break complex line item formulas into components ... each () is typically a separate line item and they get pulled together into a single simpler formula.
Average X = (sum of X / number of values)
Number of Values = sum of (If In relevant time range? then 1 else 0)
In relevant time range? = boolean time filter
Here is another thread that shows a more elegant way to achieve this in a single line item:

The link to the Anaplan Community provided returns a 404 error for me but Anaplan does have a Descriptive Statistics model that provides insight into how you can perform calculations such as finding the standard deviation. I'm attaching a screenshot for anyone else that stumbles onto this question but doesn't want to download the model
Cheers,

I get the same errror. Time for a new best practice I suppose.
To help answer @danishnoorani1 question and extend @hendersonmj answer, I posted this step-by-step DISCO method to calculate the standard deviation.
https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Anaplan-Platform/Standard-Deviation-Using-no-timescale-and-without-current-period/m-p/73141#M14752
In this method though I break one of the PLAN tenants. I have a back and forth calculation between the transaction module and the calculation module because the dimensions are the same. But it's pretty straight forward.
Hope it helps.
Thanks @JaredDolich !
Hi Community, I’m encountering an issue where an export created in Anaplan is missing column headers when retrieved via the API. However, when I manually run the same export from the Actions tab, the downloaded file includes the headers. Has anyone experienced this behavior before? I’d appreciate any insights into the root…
Hi all, I, as an Anaplan workspace administrator, am working together with a Fabric team to export data from Anaplan to Fabric via Anaplan API and Postman. We have a problem where all Anaplan exports are visible in Postman but when trying to connect to SOME of them, we get message "404, Not found". Below screenshot showing…
