Creating Calculated Measures

A calculated measure in Analytics is a measure that is derived from other measures and created by using a formula. You can create calculated measures that apply to all of the views that contain calculated measures within a compound layout, and you can create calculated measures for individual views that contain columns.

To create a calculated measure

1. In the Results tab of the analysis editor, do one of the following:
   • To create a calculated measure for all of the views within a compound layout that contain columns, click the New Calculated Measure button in the toolbar.
   • To create a calculated measure for a single data view, click the Edit View icon for the view, and then click the New Calculated Measure icon in the toolbar of the view editor.
2. In the New Calculated Measure dialog box, specify the details for the calculated measure.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box.

NOTE: You cannot edit an existing calculated measure directly in the Results tab of the analysis editor. However, you can edit a calculated measure in the Criteria tab, using the drop-down list of options for the field for the measure.
