Which type of Calculation would impact report run time because data is generated on demand?

• A. Stored Calculation
• B. Dynamic Calculation
• C. Both Stored and Dynamic Calculation
• D. Neither

Answer: (B)

Dynamic calculations are evaluated during the report execution, so data is produced on the fly as the report runs. This means the time it takes to generate results directly adds to the report run time, especially for large datasets or complex formulas. Stored calculations, on the other hand, are computed in advance and their results are stored, so the report mainly retrieves precomputed values rather than performing the calculations again. That makes stored calculations less likely to impact run time due to on-demand data generation. So the type that would affect run time because data is generated as needed is dynamic calculations.
