## Prerequisites

Before creating attributes, ensure you are on the correct workspace and branch. Use `get_session_workspace_and_branch` to check the current session context. For development work, create a branch with `create_workspace_branch` (the session switches automatically). See the `model-exploration` skill for the full workspace/branch tool reference.

## Overview

A Honeydew **calculated attribute** is a virtual, per-row column defined on an entity — analogous to an expression in a SQL `SELECT` clause.
It is evaluated once per row, not aggregated. In BI tools it surfaces as a **dimension** users can group, filter, and slice by.

Use a calculated attribute when:

- You need a reusable, governed column that doesn't exist verbatim in the source table (e.g. `net_price`, `customer_tier`, `order_month`)
