客户要求将一个view改回原来的样子(即,不适用与新需求)。由于上次的修改采用了新增计算列的方法,所以,只需要将视图中的统计指标改回原来的列即可,修改起来挺方便的。
试想,如果未采用新增计算列的方法,而是通过Information Link修改了基本数据,那这次改动就没这么容易了。
可见,计算列功能还是具有很大的灵活性的。

Calculated Column
A column that has been created from different expressions where calculations on other columns could be included. TIBCO Spotfire supports two different types of expressions: Insert Calculated Column, which creates a new column in the data table, and Custom Expression, which is used to dynamically modify the expression used on an axis or to define a setting. Both types of expressions are created with a similar user interface.
