- calculation level
-
(Optional) Specifies the calculation level to use:
-
PRE_FILTER
– Prefilter calculations are computed before the dataset filters. -
PRE_AGG

POST_AGG_FILTER
– (default) table calculations are computed when the visuals display.
This value defaults to

Example
The following example calculates the sum of sum(Sales)
, partitioned
by City
and State
.
sumOver ( sum(Sales), [City, State] )
The following example sums Billed Amount
over Customer
Region
. The fields in the table
calculation are in the field wells of the visual.
sumOver ( sum({Billed Amount}), [{Customer Region}] )
The following screenshot shows the results of the example. With the addition of
Customer Segment
, the total amount billed for each is summed for the
Customer Region
, and displays in the calculated field.
