Comments
  • The column needs to be an attribute with numerical values in the model.
  • The math operations are not running on measures (aka 'values' or 'metrics'). They are operating on atomic items in the attribute / column itself. These values can then be subsequently used to drive an aggregated metric.
  • For details on how to employ and use this function see the custom column overview.
Different Function types
  • This function is similar to the PQL common functions of the same name. However, it operates on a column directly at the grain.
  • As a granular function, it is used in the base SQL query itself.

Examples

This example returns a column with the sine of each value in the degrees column.

Sin([math ops].[degrees])

You can see the effect from this example snippet in column #3, based on the source column in position #10.
