Example

The first example shows the %COUNT measure raised to the third power:

SELECT POWER(MEASURES.[%COUNT],3) ON 0 FROM patients
 
                                     POWER
                          1,000,000,000,000

The next example uses the %LABEL function to apply a more detailed caption:

SELECT %LABEL(POWER(MEASURES.[%COUNT],3),"PAT CNT^3") ON 0 FROM patients
 
                                 PAT CNT^3
                          1,000,000,000,000

The following example shows a fractional power:

SELECT POWER(MEASURES.[%COUNT],0.5) ON 0 FROM patients
 
                                     POWER
                                        100
