Virtual keyfigure

Question: Hi All,
In which situations can I use Virtual Key figures?

My situation is as below:

I've a stock qty for a current month(M) in my cube. There is a calculative keyfigure in the report called 'end stock'.

Now, my user wants to report on current month(M) and M+1. Sometimes he would want to report on M and M+2.

The stock for M+1 is the 'end stock' of month M. How do I built such situations?

Thanks,

Shie

Answer:
Virtual key figure should be your last option because of performance issues;

You can use VKF, but you loose on performance. You can make restricted Key Figure for calmonth and use offset.
