but its not working  .....

Sum() will aggregate over all the possible values for the dimensions in your straight table. So for those dimensions you would be calculating a single number. Calculating the standard deviation for a sample size of 1 will not work, of course.


Stdev((a+b)/c) might work depending on your data model.


More likely you will have to use an aggregation such as


Stdev(Aggr((Sum(a)+Sum(b))/Sum(c),Dimension1,Dimension2))
