About Shared Calculations

In Oracle Analytics, you can create shared calculations that other users can reuse across multiple workbooks. Shared calculations help maintain consistency and reduce duplicate work.

To make a calculation shareable with other users, you add it to the Shared Objects folder of the workbook's dataset or subject area. As a shared object, it's accessible from any other workbooks that use the same dataset or subject area. When you modify a shared calculation, the changes affect all workbooks that use it.

Note:

You can't share Group Calculations or Time Series Calculations by adding them to the Shared Objects folder.

You can also make an existing calculation in the My Calculations folder sharable by dragging it to the Shared Objects folder. Delete a calculation to stop sharing it.

To create or modify shared objects in a dataset, you need Read-Write permission, see Add or Update a Dataset's Permissions. To create or modify shared objects in a subject area, you need Write permission, see Manage a Subject Area's Permissions. To use a shared object in a workbook, you only need read access to the dataset or subject area.
