DV - Custom Calculation object that can be shared between DV Projects
Organization Name
GSO
Description
Idealy, we would have the possibility to create a custom calculation and save it as an object (maybe in a sort of catalog, like the Projects catalog and the Data Sets catalog).
The creator is the owner and the only one with Edit access by default (until other users are added with Full Control).
This Custom Calculation could be used in multiple DV Projects.
When the definition is changed by the owner this is reflected in all the DV Projects were is used.
Use Case and Business Need
A DV Developer can use the same custom culculation in multiple projects.
If the defition of the calculation is changed it has to be changed in all the projects.
This can take a long time depending on the number of projects.
Saving calculations as object in a sort of Catalog will allow the Developer to manage them in only one place.

In the perspective of DV as a unified interface, it makes a lot of sense, to blend self-service capabilities and consistency, where needed, with centralized definitions.

Is this likely to be "per data set" since calculations will need to have references to specific data? Or is it more like having code fragments which can be reused but are not specific to a data set?

Hi Bret,
It should be specific to the data set.
Thanks !

Definitely wanted feature. If I remember correctly from Oracle Analytics roadmap presentation held by Garry Rubin at OA Summit, he was mentioning, that here will be quite substential changes in modeling data sets for DV , but I am not sure, whether this feature is also part of those plans.

This would be a great feature to have so one does not have to keep having to recreate custom calculations for others to consume.

Personally this is my top #1 wanted feature, would save a ton of time for me and teammates.
From a broader perspective, if I'm not wrong Tableau doesn't seem to have this feature, so it can become a competitive advantage for the product.

We have calculations that connect different folders project side that cannot be created in the RPD and we use over an over again inside of DV projects. Its really hard to ensure we are all consistent across the organization and set of authors.
