Give me any example of semi and non additive measures?..

Answer / Rahul Gaur

"Semi-additive measures are measures that have a consistent value over a specific period (e.g., year), but can change between different periods (e.g., sales by quarter). Examples include headcount, inventory levels, or account balances. Non-additive measures are measures that do not obey the additive property and cannot be added across different periods or dimensions. For example, moving averages, cumulative totals, or percentiles."
