Hi all,
Has anyone here had any degree of success in using the stdev function in MS OLAP.
I have a field already in the fact table which I would like to calculate the stdev as a measure, like if it was an aggregate function. However the formula stdev (SET [, Numeric Expression]) does seem to be slightly irritating.
I've tried creating a dimension based on the field and then using the Dimension.members property for the set and have had little success.
The Data is along the lines of a survey response which can map to text responses. eg
Response Response mapping Question
1 Very Dissatisfied 1
2 Very Dissatisfied 1
3 Very Dissatisfied 1
4 Somewhat dissatisfied 1
5 Somewhat Satisfied 1
6 Somewhat Satisfied 1
7 Somewhat Satisfied 1
8 Very Satisfied 1
9 Very Satisfied 1
1 Yes 2
2 No 2
so if question 1 is selected I can see the stdev of all answers 1 through 9 or 1 through 3 if Very dissatisfied is also selected as a column or slicer.
Technet and MS help is kinda vague on this issue so I would appreciate any help and experience anyone has to offer.
Thanks in advance
Justin Markham.
