Summary
We’ve covered a lot of concepts surrounding table calculations in this chapter. You now have a foundation for using the simplicity of quick table calculations and leveraging the power of advanced table calculations. We’ve looked at the concepts of scope and direction as they apply to table calculations that operate relative to the row and column layout of the view. We’ve also considered the related concepts of addressing and partitioning as they relate to table calculations that have computations fixed to certain dimensions.
The practical examples we’ve covered barely scratch the surface of what is possible, but should give you an idea of what can be achieved. The kinds of problems that can be solved and the diversity of questions that can be answered are almost limitless.
We’ll turn our attention to some lighter topics in the next couple of chapters, looking at formatting and design, but we’ll certainly see another table calculation...
