Std Dev

Is there any way to calculate Std Dev for 40K records with 12 columns (months) as the data points for the calculation? I see a lot of suggestions to transpose, but that doesn't seem feasible with that many records.  Essentially recreating how Excel would do it.  Creating ABC XYZ analysis for inventory items.

@longa0842 when able, would you provide a sample dummy set of what you are working with?

Definitely wouldn't be feasible to transpose in Excel, but don't see why you can't in Alteryx unless your system is running very low on RAM/Disk space. Remember that - unlike Excel - Alteryx does not have a limit on the amount of rows your data stream contains.

 

Attached is an example for calculating the StdDev values starting in the table structure you described.

Ahh - got it, so simple and missed it.  Thanks for the solution.
