I am trying to calculate the standard deviation of column below "Pos Strikes" for the 3 year periods i have in the data below by "Plant" so that I have the result of "Plant" and the standard deviation for the 3 year period. My data looks like this:
Plant year Pos Strikes
0 A 2018 38
1 A 2019 6
2 A 2020 33
3 B 2018 12
4 B 2019 30
5 B 2020 10
The end result should look like this:
Plant Pos Strikes Std Dev
0 A 17
1 B 11
I have tried this
ypos.groupby(['Plant','year'])[["Pos Strikes"]].std().reset_index().rename_axis(None, axis=1)
but I get NaN for each year that looks like this:
Plant year Pos Strikes
0 A 2018 NaN
1 A 2019 NaN
2 A 2020 NaN
Thank you for any help with this!

I believe you want to group on Plant
only:
df.groupby('Plant')['Pos Strikes'].std()
Output:
Plant
A 17.214335
B 11.015141
Name: Pos Strikes, dtype: float64
