Summary
In this chapter we have seen many ways to enhance our cube by adding calculations to it. Let us briefly recall them:
Calculated Measures create new measures whose value is calculated using MDX expressions. The new measures will be available as if they are real measures.
Calculation dimensions allow us to apply a single calculation to all of the measures in our cube, avoiding the need to create multiple calculated measures.
Named sets allow us to pre-define static or semi-static sets of members that in turn make building reports easier for our users.
In the next chapter we'll move on to look at a much more complex, but nonetheless common type of calculation: currency conversion.
