Custom Fields
Not every package is perfect, and in some cases we’ll need to create cus-tom fields to make them closer to perfect. Luckily, this is easy to do in Workspace Advanced. - Click and drag a Query Calculation into the re-port object (list, cross-tab, and so on) - Set the Query Calcu-lation as a Calculated Measure and insert the formula, text, or other data - You can always use canned functions, or type the formula out by hand
