Example of include level of detail expressions
Include level of detail calculations can be very useful when you need to perform certain calculations at levels of detail that are lower (more detailed) than the view level of detail. Let's take a look at an example.
Average loans per member
Some members have a single loan. Some have two or three or possibly more. What if we wanted to see how many loans the average member has on a state by state basis? Let's consider how we might go about that.
We'll start with a sheet where the view level of detail is State:
Figure 5.10: The starting place for the example—a filled map by state
It would be relatively easy to visualize the average credit score or average balance per state. But what if we want to visualize the average number of loans per member for each state? While there are several possible approaches to solving this kind of problem, here we'll consider using the following level of detail...
