Each measure uses a default calculation context based on its location in the report. The figures returned by a measure depend on the dimensions with which it is associated. This combination of dimensions represents the calculation context.
This example describes the default calculation context of the measures in a simple report. The report shows quantity sold generated by category, and is split into sections by product line.
