Deleting a measure can affect other measures in the database. Deleting a data or formula measure also deletes all of the measure’s data. Deleting a measure with a parent formula or group measure invalidates performance calculations for the parent measure. Before deleting the child measure, remove references to the measure from any parent measures. Use the list of Parent Measures to perform this task more efficiently.
A measure with initiatives cannot be deleted. First, delete the measure’s initiatives or move the initiatives to another measure.
How to delete a measure
1 In the Navigation Pane, choose Setup➛Measures.
2 In Setup Measures—Measures, select a measure name.
3 Choose View or Edit.
4 In Setup Measure—Properties, and in Parent Measures, perform the following tasks:
1 Choose Refresh to update any changes to other measures in the database. Updated information appears in Measures that refer to this measure.
2 For each parent measure in the list, evaluate the implications of deleting the child measure.
3 To edit a parent measure, select the measure and choose Edit Selected. Then, in Setup Measure for the parent measure, remove the child measure that you plan to delete from the group or formula definition. Choose Save and Close.
