The "Average" and "Standard Deviation" metrics does not achieve your required functionality ?

How is your mean requirements different from using the average ? I was under the impression the "Average" metric is a mean-average.

As far as I know Standard Deviation has been available since 4.0. I think however its only available in line charts.
