Important Information

  • You can create calculated measures for the project data cube only.

  • You cannot create nested calculated measures.

The calculated measure is not deleted automatically. If you do not delete the calculated measure from the Calculated Measures tab, it still displays in the Excel PivotTable List. If you add it to a report, it does not return anything meaningful.
