Calculation Groups - TimeXtender Tuesdays: Episode 26

In part two of the Time Intelligence topic, our very own Frank Wagner will walk us through the process of implementing Calculation Groups with TimeXtender.

Calculation Groups are incredibly useful for maintaining and scaling time-related measures by allowing measures to be "reused" across a dataset for things like Year-over-Year (YOY) or a Rolling 12 Month window (R12M).

Come check this very handy way to leverage TimeXtender, Tabular Editor, and Power BI to implement Calculation Groups in the context of Time Intelligence.

What happens if you deploy your primary model from TimeXtender again. Will the calculation group stay or will you have to redo it all over again?
