Roughly speaking, it is the mean of the squares of the differences between individual data values and the mean data value. There is no such thing as "standard deviation on each result". What is it you actually want for each result? Do you want it's variance from the mean expressed as a multipe of "one standard deviation for the dataset" ? -- Stuart
