stddevc usage
I’m trying to use the function stddevc to calculate the standard deviation of a column in a list.
If I used it with a hard-coded string
stddevc(ivList;”colname”)
it correctly works, but if I use a character variable with the column name such as
Calculate locColName as “colname”
stddevc(ivList;locColName)
it returns the error: “Variable name specified for the column is not in the list”.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

In case anyone needs it, I found out how to do it
Calculate locStdDev as stddevc(ivList;eval(con(‘”‘;locColName;'”‘)))
using eval() function to evaluate the locColName variable between quotes (or double quotes).
