how to calculate standard deviation across multiple columns?

Is it possible to use JMP to calculate standard deviation across multiple columns? I could only figure out how to do the calculation in the same column.

Re: how to calculate standard deviation across multiple columns?

You're looking for the "Std Dev" function.

Re: how to calculate standard deviation across multiple columns?

Do you mean by row? You can for example use Std Dev function and list the columns

Std Dev(:first, :second, third)

If you are attempting to calculate the Coefficient of Variation for each row, it would be:

names default to here(1);
dt=
New Table( "example",
	Add Rows( 7 ),
	New Column( "first",
		Numeric,
		Set Values(
			[2.4507119999999998, 1.267139, 2053.4589999999998, 1.752283, 1.108177,
			1.2322379999999999, 2.4711460000000001]
		)
	),
	New Column( "second",
		Numeric,
		Set Values(
			[2.441128, 1.258429, 2062.3409999999999, 1.7619819999999999,
			1.1137779999999999, 1.225236, 2.4654440000000002]
		)
	),
	New Column( "third",
		Numeric,
		Set Values(
			[2.4306739999999998, 1.260132, 2067.8389999999999, 1.763598, 1.115453,
			1.2322379999999999, 2.4567939999999999]
		)
	)
);

dt << new column("CV", formula( stddev(:first,:second,:third)/mean(:first,:second,:third)));

If you want to calculate the STD for the complete data table matrix it would be

names default to here(1);
dt=
New Table( "example",
	Add Rows( 7 ),
	New Column( "first",
		Numeric,
		Set Values(
			[2.4507119999999998, 1.267139, 2053.4589999999998, 1.752283, 1.108177,
			1.2322379999999999, 2.4711460000000001]
		)
	),
	New Column( "second",
		Numeric,
		Set Values(
			[2.441128, 1.258429, 2062.3409999999999, 1.7619819999999999,
			1.1137779999999999, 1.225236, 2.4654440000000002]
		)
	),
	New Column( "third",
		Numeric,
		Set Values(
			[2.4306739999999998, 1.260132, 2067.8389999999999, 1.763598, 1.115453,
			1.2322379999999999, 2.4567939999999999]
		)
	)
);

totalSTD = stddev(dt[0,0]);
show(totalSTD);
)
