I need to normalize scores from a report. In order to do so, I need to calculate the standard deviation, which requires the square root function typically available on most calculators. Is it possible to do this sort of math in flex monster? 

Thank you,
Bracha

Hello, Bracha,
 
Thank you for writing to us.
 
1. Yes, it is possible to find the square root of a number using Flexmonster's calculator tool.
The square root can be calculated using a fractional exponent, for example:

9 ^ 0.5 // Result: 3

Here is a JSFiddle example for illustration: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/07a25oqz/
For more information about calculated values please see our guide.
 
2. Also, please notice that Flexmonster provides standard deviation aggregations: Population Standard Deviation and Sample Standard Deviation.

Please let us know if this works fine for you.
Looking forward to your response.
 
Kind regards.
