The answer depends on the purpose. The interquartile range and the median absolute deviation are both measures of spread. The IQR is quick and easy to find whereas the MAD is not.

You cannot because the standard deviation is not related to the median.

You cannot because the median of a distribution is not related to its standard deviation.

The first step is to find out what the deviation is from: the mean, median, some other fixed value. Whatever it is, call it m.
For each observation x, calculate the absolute deviation, which is x - m or m - x, whichever is positive or zero. Finally, calculate the mean value (arithmetic average) of this set.

If I have understood the question correctly, despite your challenging spelling, the standard deviation is the square root of the average of the squared deviations while the mean absolute deviation is the average of the deviation.
One consequence of this difference is that a large deviation affects the standard deviation more than it affects the mean absolute deviation.

The answer depends on absolute deviation from what: the mean, median or some other measure.
Suppose you have n observations, x1, x2, ... xn and you wish to calculate the sum of the absolute deviation of these observations from some fixed number c.
The deviation of x1 from c is (x1 - c).
The absolute deviation of x1 from c is |x1 - c|. This is the non-negative value of (x1 - c). That is,
if (x1 - c) ≤ 0 then |x1 - c| = (x1 - c)
while
if (x1 - c) < 0 then |(x1 - c)| = - (x1 - c).
Then the sum of absolute deviations is the above values, summed over x1, x2, ... xn.

No. Mean absolute deviation is usually greater than 0. It is 0 only if all the values are exactly the same - in which case there is no point in calculating a deviation!
The average deviation is always (by definition) = 0

The Mean Absolute Deviation is calculated in three simple steps.
1) Determine the Mean: Add all numbers and divide by the count
example: the weights of the following three people, denoted by letters are
A - 56 Kgs
B - 78 Kgs
C - 90 Kgs
Mean = (56+78+90)/3
= 74.6
2) Determine deviation of each variable from the Mean
i.e 56-74.6 = -18.67
78-74.6= 3.33
90-74.6 =15.33
3) Make the deviation 'absolute' by squaring and determining the roots i.e eliminate the negative aspect
Thus the Mean Absolute Deviation is (18.67 +3.33+15.33)/3 =12.44
Alternatively , you can use the excel formula =AVEDEV(56,78,90) to obtain the result.
Different Methods
There are different formulas for the calculation of mean absolute deviation. For example mean absolute deviation from mean and mean absolute deviation from median. Similarly the formulas for grouped and ungrouped data are also different. In order to see the calculation of mean absolute deviation from mean and mean absolute deviation from median for both grouped and ungrouped data please visit the link given below.
Let's consider the sample {2, 2, 3, 4, 14}.
First of all you must decide, what am I calculating the mean absolute deviation from? Will it be the mean, the mode or the median? (It could be any measure of what statisticians call 'location' or 'central tendency'.)
For no good reason except that it's familiar to most people let me choose the mean of the sample. It proves to be 5.
Now we need the absolute deviation of each sample element from the mean. Notice that these are the distances between the mean and the sample elements.
|2 - 5| = |-3| = 3
|2 - 5| = |-3| = 3
|3 - 5| = |-2| = 2
|4 - 5| = |-1| = 1
|14 - 5| = |9| = 9
The sum of these is 18; then their average is 18/5 = 3.6. So the mean absolute deviation (from the mean) is 3.6. In other words, the sample points are, on average 3.6 units from the mean.

The absolute value is used in the calculation of mean absolute deviation to eliminate negative differences. By taking the absolute value of each difference, it ensures that all values are positive, allowing for an accurate measure of the average deviation from the mean.

absolute deviation is a difference between say two numbers. The result has the same units as the two numbers have. Relative deviation is a ratio and so it is a pure number without any units.
1 answer
The mean absolute deviation for a set of data is a measure of the spread of data. It is calculated as follows:
- Find the mean (average) value for the set of data. Call it M.
- For each observation, O, calculate the deviation, which is O - M.
- The absolute deviation is the absolute value of the deviation. If O - M is positive (or 0), the absolute value is the same. If not, it is M - O. The absolute value of O - M is written as |O - M|.
- Calculate the average of all the absolute deviations.

You do not have absolute deviation in isolation. Absolute deviation is usually defined around some measure of central tendency - usually the mean but it could be another measure.
The absolute deviation of an observation x, about a measure m is |x - m| which is the non-negative value of (x - m). That is,
|x - m| = x - m if x ≥ m
and m - x if x < m
