Calculation Views represent the most flexible and powerful type of data models in SAP HANA Studio. Unlike Analytical or Attribute Views, Calculation Views allow complex data transformations by combining multiple tables and views with advanced logic such as unions, joins, filters, and custom calculations. These views are widely used for advanced reporting, data analysis, and integrating heterogeneous data sources.
This article guides SAP HANA developers through the process of implementing Calculation Views using SAP HANA Studio.
Calculation Views are designed to model complex business scenarios by combining data from different sources using graphical or SQL script-based modeling techniques. They support various data categories like Cube, Dimension, and Time and can be consumed by reporting tools such as SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP BusinessObjects.
