public class ComputedColumn

extends org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.Structure

Represents one computed column. A computed column is a ¡°virtual¡± column produced as an expression of other columns within the data set.

This is a managed object, meaning that all changes should be made though the command layer so that they can be undone and redone. Each computed column has the following properties:

Column Name

a computed column has a required column name.

Expression

expression of the computation for the column.
