I take the opportunity to ask how to execute a complex formula like this
Avg ( if( [Buffy Coat WBC/µl]<>0, [Buffy Coat WBC/µl]))
+
Stdev ( if( [Buffy Coat WBC/µl]<>0, [Buffy Coat WBC/µl]))
 
Best regards

Hello, Luana!

Thank you for your question.

Please note that using formulas inside of aggregations are not supported. We recommend using the report filters to achieve the same result as on your formula. First, exclude measures equal to zero from the report. After this step, create a calculated value to count the sum of average and standard deviation.
Our team prepared an example to illustrate the idea: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/68o4mxck/

Please let us know if this approach would work for you.

Best Regards,
Maksym

I apologize but due to family problems I was unable to try.
I'll try the script tomorrow.
from your example, however, it would seem that in this way the rows containing the value 0 are excluded. if you had another column with field count this would have the same condition or am i wrong?
Best regards

Hello, Luana!

Thank you for your reply.
As you mentioned, this filter excludes the entire rows containing zero values. Hence, applying it will affect the values in other measures. 
Feel free to contact us if any other questions arise.

Best Regards,
Maksym
