Please see the response to your first post.

please help me

For a link to a post that has the functions to compute the mean average, sum, count and standard deviation from an array of values. Using the array allows one to use the filter method of the array to remove unwanted values like null strings.

This is all custom JavaScript.

You need to create an array of the non-null values form your fields. Then  use that array of values as the parameter to the function calls to get the result of the function returned back to your script. You then need to use more JavaScript to set your field values.

With your values my form calculates a sum of 6.26, an average of 1.252, and a standard deviation of 0.24252010225958592
