Concepts → Runtime Business View Formula Column

About a runtime business view formula column

The following are the types of Runtime Business Views:

These view types —business schema view, Incorta Analyzer View, PostgreSQL (Incorta SQL) View, and Spark SQL— can exist within the same business schema. You can create a business schema view with the Business Schema Designer, an Incorta Analyzer View with the Analyzer, a PostgreSQL (Incorta SQL) View with the PostgreSQL Query Editor, and the Spark SQL with the Spark Query Editor.

For both a Business Schema View and an Incorta Analyzer View, you can create a formula expression for a formula column using the Formula Builder. A formula expression has certain capabilities and limitations which are dependent on both the parent object (Business Schema View or Incorta Analyzer View) and the referenced columns within the expression.

Column data lineage

You can view the data lineage of columns and formula columns in runtime business views in the Data Lineage Viewer v2 that displays a diagram with the entities referenced in the column (upstream lineage) and entities where the column is referenced (downstream lineage).

This feature is not supported for Spark SQL Views as of 2024.7.x.

You can create a formula column for a Runtime Business View in two ways:
