Summary

In this chapter, you learned about table calculations. You started by performing some quick table calculations, used to quickly apply commonly used table calculations in the view. Then, you explored ways to apply a table calculation using addressing and partitioning – how addressing defines the direction of the calculation, while partitioning defines its scope. Finally, you learned about creating a table calculation using the calculation editor, and about ways to address the view using specific dimensions.

In the next chapter, you will learn about Level of Detail, which is another powerful concept, used to control how views are displayed.
