Hi W&B Team,
I am writing to request a feature for the UI’s table view. Currently, when grouping multiple runs together (for example, to compare different random seeds), the table automatically reports the mean of the group’s metrics. However, there is currently no way to view the variance or standard deviation for these grouped metrics directly in the UI.
I came across an older community forum post from February 2022 (“Add custom column in table reports the variance of a metric per group”) discussing this exact limitation. I am facing the same problem and would like to formally request this as a feature.
While pulling the data via the API to calculate the standard deviation programmatically is a workaround, it disrupts the workflow. Having standard deviation, variance, and ideally min/max values available as optional toggles for grouped rows in the table view would be incredibly helpful for quickly evaluating run stability and reproducibility right from the dashboard.
Could you please pass this feature request along to the product team?
Thank you for your time and for building such a great tool!
