calculated measure
A stored expression that executes in response to a query. For example, a calculated measure might generate the difference in costs from the prior period by using the LAG_VARIANCE
function on the COSTS
measure. Another calculated measure might calculate profits by subtracting the COSTS
measure from the SALES
measure. The expression resolves only the values requested by the query.
See also expression; measure.
