A Calculation View is a versatile information view used in SAP HANA to create advanced data slices. It combines attributes of attribute views and analytic views while offering additional analytic capabilities. These views are valuable for complex data modeling and can incorporate multiple data sources, including tables, column views, attribute views, and analytic views. They support various data operations such as joins, unions, projections, and aggregation. Calculation views come in two types: graphical, created through a visual editor, and script-based, created using SQL scripts. They are essential when business requirements demand advanced data modeling beyond what attribute or analytic views can provide, enabling the implementation of complex logic and multidimensional reporting.
