Difference: Calculation View and Analytic View

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Could some of you please help me to find the answer to my following question?

Why would you ever use an analytic view over a calculation view?

It seems like it's possible to replace every analytic view with a calculation view.

Thanks and greetings,

Sascha.

Hi,

1) Analytical Views : Again, in the language on SAP BW analytical views can be roughly compared with Info Cubes or Info Sets in SAP ERP. As same it joins together one central fact table with contains transaction data to report on, with number of tables or attribute views. You can create variables in an analytical view.

2) Calculation views : Calculation views can be referred as combination of tables, attributes views and analytical views to deliver a complex business requirement. They offer to combine different analytical views into one source of data for reporting.
