# Incremental
Naming pattern: Measures with “Incremental” behavior follow the name
pattern:*Main Measure Name* Incremental.
The Incremental measures evaluate the impact of a trade or a group of
trades (‘current scope’) on the result at a selected
[ReferenceLevel](./referencelevel),
by comparing it with a computation as if the considered trade or
aggregate of trades were hypothetically removed.
$M^{incremental}(\text{scope})= M(\text{portfolio}) - M(\text{portfolio excl scope})$
The impact of query filters on the results can be controlled using [ReferenceLevelVisualTotalsMode](./referencelevelvisualtotalsmode).
## Example
In the following example, the [IMCC](./imcc-ima)
measure is showing the impact of individual desks on the firm-level
[IMCC](./imcc-ima) number.
* In this example, the [ReferenceLevel](./referencelevel)
is set to Enterprise.
* [IMCC](./imcc-ima) for desk “Bonds” is -17 mio, which means, that this portfolio is reducing firm-level IMCC by 17 mio.
To validate the incremental measure for desk “Bonds”, let’s compute
firm-level IMCC with a filter excluding the desk:
From the screenshot above, we can see that IMCC is approximately 17 mio
higher (109.7 - 92.6) if the “Bonds” desk positions were closed-out.
