In this section, you will learn about the various LOD calculations. There are four LOD calculation types:
FIXED
INCLUDE
EXCLUDE
Table-Scoped
You will now learn about each of these LOD calculations in greater depth. You will also learn their application in visualizations by performing an exercise for each.
FIXED
LOD calculations compute an expression using specified dimensions. An example would be identifying the top-performing product categories per region per country. This can easily be done using FIXED
LOD calculations.
In this exercise, you will calculate SUM(Profit)
fixed at a Country
level. Suppose, as a country-level manager, you are only interested in the profits generated at country level, but occasionally would like to hone in on the Region
level of that country. Now, you will compute a measure at a specific dimension level, rather than making calculations...
