Post Function: [log]

log=Log_e^.Measure

If measure = 97,825, what power must e (2.7182818) be raised to in order to get 97,825?

log(97,825) = 11.49

e^11.49=97,825

Use this function to:

log= ln(RowX)

RowX = value for current row

ln= log_e

e = 2.7182818

Component	Description
Dimensions	Discrete field(s). All fields must come from the same table.
Name	Name to be displayed as Column Header in result grid
Measure	The field to be used in the post-function calculation. Must be numeric if Function is anything other than COUNT. Must come from same table as DIMENSIONS. Supports Discrete or Continuous DataTypes.
Function	COUNT / SUM / AVG / MIN / MAX / STDEV
Post	log
*Value*	Optional. Filter to apply when evaluating FUNCTION. Only records in the Filter Recordset will be included in the Function and Post-Function calculations. Must come from same table as DIMENSION/MEASURE or be linked to the Dimension table.
*Axis*	0 / 1. Y-Axis to use when plotting graph. Default = 0 Log functions are usually plotted on a secondary axis if they are plotted with other data.
*Plot*	Y / N. Specifies whether measure’s output column should be plotted on graph. Default = Y
*Resolve*	Optional. Resolve level for the measure. If blank, Resolve = Dimension Table
*Series Type*	Default / Bar / Stacked Bar / Line / Spline / RangeLow / RangeHigh / CSLow / CSHigh / CSOpen / CSClose Determines the graph style for the measure.
*Popup*	Default / None / Extended
*Prefix*	$ / £ / E / %
