Explain Calculation feature not working

Molly P

Explain calculation is available on as an action, but it doesn't do anything. Do I have to do something else to enable this? Also, does explain only work on custom data set columns and not out of the box subject area columns?

Hi @Molly P,

As per Oracle docs:

Explain works with most column-based calculation or group calculation listed in the My Calculations folder associated with a dataset. There are some limitations depending on the type of functions used and the complexity of the calculations. Right-click a calculation in the My Calculations area of the Data Panel and select Explain <calculation name>.

Please take a look into the following document which might be useful.

Hope this help.

Thank you.
