Understanding INCLUDE LOD
As mentioned earlier, the INCLUDE LOD expression, computes values using the specified dimensions in addition to whatever dimensions are present in the view. These expressions are most useful when including a dimension that is not part of our view as the results are computed at a lower granularity than the visualization's level of detail.
The syntax of using an INCLUDE LOD expression is { INCLUDE [Dimension] : aggregate expression}.
The preceding syntax shows how one can use an INCLUDE expression for a single dimension, however, if there is more than one dimension that we want to include in our calculation, then the syntax can be modified as { INCLUDE [Dimension1], [Dimension2], [Dimension3] : aggregate expression}.
Let us see how we can use the INCLUDE LOD expression in the following recipe.
