StDevP
Returns the standard deviation of a population represented by a series of non-blank values in field.
field - any related field, repeating field, or set of non-repeating fields; or an expression that returns a field, repeating field, or set of non-repeating fields.

Field can be any of the following:
|
•
|
a repeating field (repeatingField).
|
|
•
|
a field in matching related records specified by (table::field), whether or not these records appear in a portal.
|
|
•
|
several non-repeating fields in a record (field1;field2;field3...).
|
|
•
|
corresponding repetitions of repeating fields in a record (repeatingField1;repeatingField2;repeatingField3), if the result is returned in a repeating field with at least the same number of repeats.
|
|
•
|
several fields in the first matching record specified by (table::field1;table::field2;...). You can include fields from different tables (table 1::field A;table 2::field B...).
|
A portal displays the related values 5, 6, 7, and 8 in the field Scores. StDevP(table::Scores) returns 1.11803398....
StDevP(Field4) results in an error because the population standard deviation of a single number is not defined.
StDevP(Field2) returns 1.11803398... for a non-repeating field.
Note When a referenced field is a repeating field, the StDevP function returns the standard deviation of a population in the first repetition fields, then the standard deviation of a population in the second repetition fields, and so on.
