need to understand pros and cons of measures in Universe vs. Reports

$

I modified a WebI report that had two measures selected from the Universe:

- count(COURSES_ID)

- sum(COURSES_CRED_HRS)

 

As a result, there were two queries created, but the only difference was one had the COUNT and one had the SUM. this seemed to me to be overly complicated and added an extra layer of effort. Everything else in the query was the same.

So I ended up removing the measures from the report, then just did the calculation in the report, and so I ended up with a cleaner report, imo, with these

Count([Course Nbr])

Sum([Cred Hrs])

 

So was just wondering what are the considerations for each. We don't have much data so the number of rows returned isn't a consideration.

 

But I am nine months into this and trying to understand the pros and cons, how WebI thinks, etc.
