2. Objectives In this module, we will: compare multiple measures
use special categories
show values as percentages
differentiate between 3D bar and pie displays
create and use calculations

3. Compare Multiple Measures
Display multiple measures to examine different aspects of your business.
Show multiple measures in either the rows or the columns.

4. Hide Measures
Use Hide/Show or Hide Selection to hide one or more measures on a report.

Calculations are used to examine figures in a report that are not available in a cube.
Create calculations to show information that cannot be easily seen using the current data available.
Use available data in your report to create your calculated data.
Variance = 2006 Q Q1
Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost
Cumulative Sales = Previous Sales + Current Sales

Answer
What are special categories and why do you need them?
Special categories are subsets of your data. They allow you to view specific categories that your administrator has grouped together. There are two types of special categories, those created by the administrator, and those created by default for all time dimensions (also called Relative Time categories).
