Integrate Custom Calculations and Forecast Layout
You can add custom calculations to the Forecast or Rolling Forecast layout, which allows you to combine different values in the same table. You can also create Calculation Input Controls for your forecast.
Using the Calculation Editor, you can create a Forecast member that is added to your table. When you add more than one calculated Forecast or Rolling Forecast member, you can then create a custom calculation to show the delta between those members.
