How do you view statistics for an exam?

How do you view the statistics for one particular assignment?  You used to be able to see average / median etc and now that option appears to be gone...

I do not want to download the file into Excel.  We used to be able to have this feature directly in Canvas.  WHY is it gone?  and can it PLEASE be brought back?!?!?!?  Thank you, Diana

Hi  @dhurlbut  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

You can use New Analytics for this purpose, as shown in the screenshot below.....

Learn how in the New Analytics Chapter of the Canvas Instructor Guide, specifically How do I compare the course average chart graph with an assignment, section, or student filter in Ne... 

If New Analytics are not yet turned on in your course, see this How do I manage new features for a course?  

If you do not see New Analytics in your feature choices, you will need to contact your school's Canvas Admin.

Note:  the Title of your question asks about Exams, while the body asks about assignments. If you really wanted to know about Quizzes, then you want quiz statistics, then this guide will help https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-26579-once-i-publish-a-quiz-what-kinds-of-quiz-statistics-a...

This solution is useless!!!! I agree with OP - where are the analytics for each assignment so that I can post grade distribution for an exam - high, low, median, histogram, etc. ??????  Whoever designed these changes should be forced to actually use Canvas gradebook for a class.  You will quickly find out how useless and cumbersome it is to use for the non-computer programming major!  I want individual assignment statistics to be brought back.

@lorraine_carey , if you look at the screenshot that @kmeeusen posted, those are individual assignment statistics.  When you open New Analytics, you can click on the dot for an assignment or type in the name of the assignment you want data for in the search box and then the information you are looking for is what comes up.  I see the average, the high, the low, a graph of the distribution and the ability to message students directly from there using that data as a metric.
