Hello,

I had to give some more information to my posting:

as ouput there are more than one row, depending on the values of column A 
(transformierung to distinct values, here 3 and 4, but there are much more)

>        A            B                C
> 1      3             6                 5
> 2      3             4                 20
> 3      3             8                 2
> 4      4             8                 3
> 5      4             2                 6

Output:

>        A            B                C                      num rows
> 1      3            6                 6.16                  3
> 2      4            5                 4.00                  3


B is mean and C variance.


thank you
