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

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.

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 !
I am trying upload data from a CSV with date. For size reasons, I don't want to dimension the module by date but bring it in as a line item formatted as date. The problem is that person that will be doing the upload is in Italy, and their date format is different. When she does the upload, the date gets messed up…
Hi, when I am assigning the account to the territory I am always facing error as below and account never get assigned to the territory , what could be the reason ? When I use same method for unassign it works .
A while back, I shared a pattern for extracting and reporting on Anaplan audit data using a Python project hosted on GitHub. I wrote that during my time on the Operational Excellence Group (OEG) at Anaplan. The Python solution still works, and plenty of teams are running it today. The problem it solves hasn't changed:…
