Local Calculations
Use
You can recalculate single values and results of a report based on certain criteria. For example, you can create ranked lists or you can calculate the total for a Top 10 product list locally.
Integration
The function for making local calculations is available for structural components in the Query Designer in the Selection/Formula Properties dialog, in the BEx Analyzer in the Key Figure Properties dialog, and in the Context Menu of Web applications.
Features
Local calculations include only those numbers in the calculation that appear in the current view of the report. In this way, you override the standard analytic engine calculations.
Note that these local calculations only change the display of the values. With subsequent calculations, such as formulas, the system does not use the values changed for the display, but rather the original values specified by the analytic engine.
