22 Dynamically Calculating Data Values
To improve calculation performance, you can apply Dynamic Calc for select values in an Essbase block storage cube. Dynamic Calc adds efficiency by calculating some members at retrieval time.
When you design the way your cube is calculated, you may find it to be more efficient to calculate some member combinations when data is retrieved, instead of precalculating the member combinations during batch database calculations.
The information in this chapter applies only to block storage databases, and is not relevant to aggregate storage databases.
