Jody also I was told by Microstrategy developer that if they define anything as a measure the SUM automatically gets added to the SQL on their end. ie: As the HANA developer if I don't want something summed in the analytic view I make it an attribute (ie: still numeric but not a measure). Well if for example it is PRICE (doesn't make sense to aggregate) in Microstrategy I am told if they don't make it a measure then they can't perform any future formulas or calculations against it. (ie: in HANA we can still create calculated columns on attributes but they can't in Microstrategy? Seems bizarre) So if they wanted to take the PRICE and multiply it X 2 or something like that supposedly they can not if it's an attribute (maybe my friend Ravi will chime in here if this is true).
