Property/Type	Description
uniqueName String	The measure’s unique name.
active Boolean	optional Indicates whether the measure will be selected for the slice (`true`) or not (`false`).

See the list of supported aggregations. Calculated measures. To address another calculated measure, specify its unique name. For example, `"Formula #1"`.
individual Boolean	optional Defines whether the formula is calculated using raw values (`true`) or using aggregated values (`false`). Can be used only for the calculated values. Only for `"json"` and `"csv"` data source types. Default value: `false`.
calculateNaN Boolean	optional Defines whether the formula is calculated using NaN values (`true`) or using null values (`false`). Can be used only for the calculated values. Only for `"json"` and `"csv"` data source types. Default value: `true`.

Example with the MeasureObject:

slice: {
  measures: [
    // A regular measure
    {

      aggregation: "sum",
      caption: "Price",
      format: "price",
      grandTotalCaption: "Total price",
    },
    // A calculated value
    {
      uniqueName: "average_quantity",
      active: true,
      caption: "Average Quantity",
      formula: "sum('Quantity')/count('Quantity')",
      individual: true,
      calculateNaN: false,
      format: "Average Quantity",
      grandTotalCaption: "Average Quantity"
    },
  ],
