Support for variables in semantic views (General availability)
GAVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026
You can now define variables in a semantic view to parameterize facts, dimensions, and metrics. Variables let you customize calculations at query time without changing the view definition. Define variables when you create a semantic view using the VARIABLES clause in the CREATE SEMANTIC VIEW command, or by adding a variables key in the YAML specification .
