What type of Calculation would impact report run time since data is generated when the report is requested?

• A. Stored Calculation
• B. Dynamic Calculation
• C. Both Stored and Dynamic Calculation
• D. None

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that run-time calculations are performed when the report is actually run. In OneStream, calculations can be precomputed and stored (stored calculations) or they can be computed on-the-fly as the report is requested (dynamic calculations). When data is generated only when the report is requested, the work of producing those values happens during the report run, which is exactly what dynamic calculations do. This means the report’s run time can be directly affected by how complex the on-demand computations are and how much data needs to be evaluated. Stored calculations, by contrast, are precomputed and stored, so they don’t drive the on-demand computation during the report run as much, though they still influence overall performance in other ways. The option that aligns with data generation at request is dynamic calculation, since that’s the mechanism that computes results during the actual run.
