Question

Is there a normdist calculation in looker?

I am trying to add a statistical significance calculation to my table using table calculations in looker. I have got to a z-score using the standard functions available but cannot find a way to turn this into a p-value. Is there something like the normdist function found in excel and R that I can use in looker, or is this something that may be coming in the future?

Hi Rebecca,


This doesn’t exist at the moment, we have been using lookup tables the handful of times we have done it internally. Here is the example:


  - measure: significance

    sql: |

      CASE

      WHEN (ABS(${t_score}) > 3.291) THEN '(7) .0005 sig. level'

      WHEN (ABS(${t_score}) > 3.091) THEN '(6) .001  sig. level'

      WHEN (ABS(${t_score}) > 2.576) THEN '(5) .005 sig. level'

      WHEN (ABS(${t_score}) > 2.326) THEN '(4) .01 sig. level'

      WHEN (ABS(${t_score}) > 1.960) THEN '(3) .025 sig. level'

      WHEN (ABS(${t_score}) > 1.645) THEN '(2) .05 sig. level'

      WHEN (ABS(${t_score}) > 1.282) THEN '(1) .1 sig. level'

      ELSE '(0) Insignificant'

      END

Thank you will try that.
