What is diffence between query calculation and layout calculation?..

Answer / leena k skariah

In Query Calculation, we can create a calculation/query
item based on either the Source package or the data items
of that query.
In Layout calculation,we can create a new calculated item
based on only the query data items, not from the source
package.

What is diffence between query calculation and layout calculation?..

Answer / venkat reddy

Query Calculation
It is used to perform Data Scrubbing. Insert a query calculation into your report to add a new row or column with values that are based on a calculation. For example, you create a query calculation named Euros that converts dollars to euros by multiplying an existing dollar measure by a conversion rate. Euros can then be displayed to end users in a separate row or column.

Layout Calculation
Layout Calculation is used to provide run time information, but not used to perform any operation on the data. Create a layout calculation to add run-time information to your report, such as current date, current time, and user name. When creating layout calculations, only report functions are available to you in the expression editor. These functions are executed in the report layout, as opposed to the other functions which are executed in the query.

Both are used to generate an user-defined column.
For layout calculation,we can generate a new query item based

based on only the query items present in the current Query(/
report)
