# Custom calculations in decomposition tree

For the decomposition tree, **data gets aggregated in the extension**. Thats why pre-aggregated fields like AGG(Profi Ratio) **are not allowed** to be used in the extension.

To decompose calculations like a Profit Ratio, they **have to be calculated in the extension**. You can do this in the **Custom Calculations** section. All parts of the calculation have to be present in the **Measure Values shelf.**

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/powerkpis/configuration/custom-calculations-in-decomposition-tree.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
