# Working with Analyzer measures

In Analyzer, you can work with measures in several ways to accomplish tasks, such as renaming a measure, creating a calculated measure, and editing a calculated measure.

When updating the details of a measure or adding a calculated measure, you are making changes to the data model from within Analyzer. When you save these changes, they are now a part of the data source for other users to access. We call these types of changes to the data source inline modeling since these changes are reflected immediately in the data source you are working with. This approach allows you to make model changes easily in Analyzer which benefits other users immediately.

To make these types of changes, you must be assigned the **Manage Data Sources** operation permission in Users and Roles. For more information on setting and maintaining permissions and roles for users, see [Use Pentaho Security](/pba/pentaho-user-console/classic-design/about-pentaho-user-console-perspectives/administration/manage-users-and-roles-in-puc.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/pentaho-analyzer-cp/working-with-analyzer-measures.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
