public interface IBIOperation
extends IBIInputReference

A subtype of IBIInputReference, represents a category of InputReferences that are used to define mostly arithmetic combinations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) of two other InputReferences, for example, two MemberReferences. A typical usage example is the definition of more complex measures by combining measures that are provided by a cube, for example:

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Using the operations concept, this would require an IBISubtraction operation that uses IBIMemberReferences to the members "Revenue" and "Cost" from the measures dimension.

All operations are binary, having two operands named according to the operation. The only exception is the SignInversion operation that takes only a single InputReference.

Since operations can be recursively inserted as operands into other operations, complex expressions can be built as treelike structures.
