# Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure

| **Type** | **Read/write** | **Author** | **Availability** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Data provider](/v1/docs/what-are-a-data-provider-and-a-direct-provider) | Read | Finbourne | Provided with LUSID |

The `Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure` provider enables you to write a [Luminesce SQL query](/v1/docs/understanding-the-luminesce-sql-query-syntax) that retrieves details about all the measures you can report when you perform a portfolio [valuation](/v1/docs/valuations). Note that measures are also known as metrics or queryable keys.

> **Note:** The LUSID user running the query must have sufficient [access control permissions](/v1/docs/creating-policies-to-control-access-to-providers-for-different-luminesce-end-users) to both use the provider *and* read valuation data stored in LUSID. This should automatically be the case if you are the domain owner.

**See also:** [Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation](/v1/docs/lusidportfoliovaluation), [Lusid.Valuation.Recipe](/v1/docs/lusidvaluationrecipe), [Lusid.Logs.Valuation.Manifest](/v1/docs/how-do-i-access-a-valuation-manifest)

## Basic usage

```sql
select * from Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure where <filter-expression>;
```

## Query parameters

`Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure` has parameters that enable you to filter or refine a query.

To list available parameters, their data types, default values, and an explanation for each, run the following query using a [suitable tool](/v1/docs/what-tools-are-available-to-write-luminesce-queries):

```sql
select FieldName, DataType, ParamDefaultValue, Description from Sys.Field where TableName = 'Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure' and FieldType = 'Parameter';
```

## Data fields

By default, `Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure` returns a table of data populated with particular fields (columns). You can return a subset of these fields.

To list fields available to return, their data types, whether fields are considered 'main', and an explanation for each, run the following query using a [suitable tool](/v1/docs/what-tools-are-available-to-write-luminesce-queries):

```sql
select FieldName, DataType, IsMain, IsPrimaryKey, SampleValues, Description from Sys.Field where TableName = 'Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure' and FieldType = 'Column';
```

> **Note:** Fields marked 'main' are returned by queries that start `select ^ from Lusid.Portfolio.Valuation.Measure...`
