Add a calculated measure to a Measure Group ?

I have created a calculated measure which is logically very much part of a specific measure group but I can't seem to work out how to add it to the measure group.. it just sits there as part of the general Measures.

Can I specifiy in which Measures group it should reside? This would also make more sense for managing Perspectives..

In the calculations tab, when you are defining the calculation, look on the toolbar for a button named "Calculation Properties". Click on that and it will open a dialog box that you can use to add either display folders or associated measure groups for each of your calculated members. Just add an associated measure group for the calculated member in question and it will then show up visually in that measure group's list of items.

Hi Dave,

how another property of Calculated member "Description" can be set ?

Only with notepad?

Hi,

Here is how to relate the calculated memeber and the measure group

1. Open the calculations tab in the BI studio

2. Select the calculation (you want to set) from the left 'script organizer' window

3. Click on the 'Calculation properties' toolbar button (It is on the calculation tab, above the script organizer)

or from the top BI studio menu, select Cube>Calculation Properties

4. This opens a dialog box, with all your calculations on the left drop down and all the measureGroups on the right drop down. (ignore the display folder)

5. select the calculation from the left drop down and the associated MeasureGroup from the the right drop down.

Its pretty easy, you should be able to do it in a snap
