Standard deviation on average weighted price

Hi!

 

I am trying to calculate a standard deviation on weighted average price per market.

 

I have the table below [Date]:

 

DateMarketScenarioPriceQuantity
1/01/2018A03. Mix         95.0        647.0
1/01/2018B03. Mix       100.0        844.0
1/01/2018C03. Mix         51.0        829.0
1/02/2018A03. Mix         57.0          19.0
1/02/2018B03. Mix         90.0        603.0
1/02/2018C03. Mix         66.0        102.0
1/03/2018A03. Mix         58.0          17.0
1/03/2018B03. Mix         61.0        742.0
1/03/2018C03. Mix         91.0        900.0

 

In order to calculate the standard deviation, I have create a measure for the average weighted price:

 
Weighted Average Price:
Weighted Average Price = 
DIVIDE(
		SUMX(Data,Data[Price]*Data[Quantity]),
		SUM('Data'[Quantity]),
        0
)
 
Then, I have a standard deviation measure as follows:
 
Standard deviation:
 
Standard deviation = STDEVX.P('Data',[Weighted Average Price])
 
However, I am not sure that these measures take into consideration the "Market" dimension. 
 
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?
 
Thanks!

I created a new table. You would probably not actually need to create this table in the model, but it would be used in the measures since you need to pass a column to the standard deviation function. 

 

Test Table = 
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            SUMMARIZE( Table5, Table5[Market], Table5[Date]),

            /* Returns the total quantity of the specific market */
            "Total Quanitity for Specific Market", CALCULATE(SUM( Table5[Quantity]), ALLEXCEPT(Table5, Table5[Market])),

            /* Returns the total quantity, regardless of the market */
            "Total Qty for All Markets", SUM( Table5[Quantity]),

            /* Price * Quanitity Measure */
            "Total Sold (Price * Quantity)", CALCULATE( SUMX( Table5, Table5[Price] *Table5[Quantity]))
        ),
        /* Using the Price * Quantity measure, the denonminator is either the total sold for the specific market, or the grand total of quantity*/
        "Weighted Price Based on Total of All Qty",DIVIDE([Total Sold (Price * Quantity)] , [Total Qty for All Markets]),
        "Weighted Price Based on Qty of Market",DIVIDE([Total Sold (Price * Quantity)] , [Total Quanitity for Specific Market])
        )

Here's an explanation on what is happening in that function. Maybe a little closer to what you had in mind?

What would you want/expect the outcome to be on your sample above. I'm getting the following, but not sure it's correct or what you had in mind:

The weighted average price is correct. The standard deviation looks a bit high to me, doesn't it?

 

What I am not sure about is how to make sure that the selected "Market" is taken into consideration before the calculations (for the weighted average price and for the standard deviation).
