Why each option
In Web Intelligence, the primary benefit of writing a formula is that it can be saved as a named variable, enabling reuse throughout the document without rewriting the expression.
The Data tab displays query objects and result objects, not a location for storing or retrieving saved formulas; variables serve the reuse function and appear in the Available Objects section.
In Web Intelligence, you can convert any formula into a variable by giving it a name - the variable then appears in the Available Objects panel and can be dragged into any table, chart, or cell in the document. This is the intended mechanism for formula reuse within a report.
Web Intelligence does not expose a feature that lets report authors save a formula as a new reusable function; custom functions require developer-level tooling outside the report editor.
Measure objects are defined at the universe/semantic layer, not within the report editor, and a Web Intelligence formula cannot be pushed back into a measure object for cross-document reuse.
