Hi Prabhat

Area is mathematical function which gets used in APO macro.

When you defined Area, you also require provide the date range. Area will sum all the values defined with date range and provide this information to next step defined in the macro. So in you example you are calculating the sum of Total demand defined within the number range.

Please also find below the details about different APO macro functions. I hope this information will help you.
