If values will be used in Values area of PivotTable and if there are many unique
values a Calcualted Field might be better because values won't be stroed in
RAM. Requires timing to be sure.
Calculated Fields (Measures)
Can only be used in Values area of PivotTable.
If you have the choice between drag and drop to SUM in a Pivot (called implicit
formula) and making a Calculated Field with SUM function (called Explicit
formula), it is better to use explicit because of "Portable" concept.
Calculate at the Aggregate Level, "Filter Context" Applies.

Any values created in CF are not stored in RAM, but instead are created when
you add/move a field in the PivotTable ("Proccessing Power at Query Time").
Number of unique values in column matters.
Calculates when PivotTable is Pivoted, and when created.
Always use tables names and field names, except when using Calculated Fields in
other Calculated Fields, then just use square brackets.
