Column and row calculations let you create additional calculations that are not defined as part of the database outline. For example, you can use column and row calculations to create extra columns or rows in a report, based upon selected data members, and perform calculations on these or existing columns and rows.
For examples of report scripts that contain column and row calculations, see “Sample 14, Calculating Columns” on the “Example of Report Scripts” page of the Oracle Essbase Technical Reference.
