Editing a Calculated Measure in the Report
If you have created a calculated measure, but have not added it to the data source, you can edit that calculated measure.
1. Click the down arrow next to a calculated measure in the
Layout panel, select
User Defined Measure from the menu, and then select
Calculated Measure Properties. The
Calculated Measure Properties dialog box appears. Optionally, you can double-click the calculated measure in the report to open the
Calculated Measure Properties dialog box.
2. In the Name field, edit the name of your calculated measure.
3. In the Format field, edit how you want the results of your measure to appear in your report. Optionally, edit the number of decimal places for the results.
4. In the right panel, edit the formula for your calculated measure. You can write the MDX statement, or you can use the list on the left to drag measures into the right panel. You can also use the symbol buttons below to help edit your statement, or just use your keyboard to write the expression.
5. Select the Calculate subtotals using measure formula check box to use this calculated measure when adding up subtotals in your report. Clear this check box to not use this formula when calculating subtotals.
6. Optionally, select the Apply to data source check box to add the calculated measure to the data model. When you click OK to save this calculated measure, your calculated measure will also be saved to the data model. Once you save the report, the measure will now be available for other users to add to their reports. Note that you cannot edit the calculated measure in the report when you add it to the data source and save the report.
7. Click OK to apply your calculated measure to your report. When you save your report, your calculated measure will also be saved with your report. Click Cancel to close the dialog box without applying your changes.
