Computed Values
[This is prerelease documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
There are two main ways to create values in Microsoft code name “M”:
As extents, which represent values in storage.
As computed values, which are calculated at runtime and exist in memory.
There are many uses for computed values. Some of these uses include expressing parent-child relationships, and defining views. The computation that creates the value can be any valid “M” expression, including arithmetic expressions and query expressions.
