Hi All ,
In this blog , I am going to explain creation of Calculation view ( Graphical).
SAP HANA Model for COPA Scenario
Previous Blogs:
Attribute Views: (Part 1)
Analytic View : ( Part 2)
Calculation View Intro:
•Calculation views are composite views used on top of analytic and attribute views.
•Calculation views combine different fact tables
• Calculation views are defined as either graphical views or scripted views depending on how they are created
• Graphical views can be modeled using the graphical modeling features of the SAP HANA Modeler
• Scripted views are created as sequences of SQL statements.
•Typically used when the business use case requires advanced logic that is not covered in the previous types of information views
•For example, calculation views can have layers of calculation logic, can include measures sourced from multiple source tables, can include advanced SQL logic, and so on
•The data foundation of the calculation view can include any combination of tables, column views, attribute views and analytic views.
•You can create joins, unions, projections, and aggregation levels on the sources.
