MemberD – Custom Calculation of A+B
MemberE – Ratio of MemberD to MemberC
I would need to dene several solve orders. MemberD would need to be calculated
aer A, B, and C. MemberE would need to be calculated aer D. Assigning 5 to D and 10
to E would guarantee that the calculations are executed at run-time in the desired order.
is brings us to the next logical question. “Does each calculation need a unique solve
order?” No, they denitely do not. e solve orders only matter in relationship to other
members in the outline involved in a specic calculation sequence, such as the example
I provided above with MembersA to E. If I were to take the same cube ...
