# View or update inline calculated measures

These instructions are for calculated measures created within Analyzer using [inline modeling](https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/10.2-analytics/pentaho-analyzer-cp/advanced-topics/use-calculated-measures-in-analyzer-reports). Note that inline calculated measures display with the function symbol ('fx') in the **Available Fields** list.

1. In the **Available Fields** list on the left, click the name of the calculated measure you want to edit, and then click the down arrow to the right of the measure name.

   A shortcut menu appears.
