Computing correlation in LookML as a Custom field

I am trying to implement correlation between two fields in Looker. It is indeed possible as a Table calculation, but I need to implement it as a custom field in LookML.

I tried the following:

#----------- test correlation:

measure: sum_test_1{
type: number
sql: ( SELECT ${TABLE}.{% parameter kpi %} + ${TABLE}."KPI_1" FROM ${TABLE} )
;;
}

measure: corr_test{
type: number
sql: (SELECT CORR( ${TABLE}.{% parameter kpi %}, ${TABLE}."KPI_1") FROM ${TABLE})
;;
}

With the outcomes:
1- sum_test_1. It works, it verifies that the two columns have valid data before compute correlation
2- corr_test. It produces the following error: 
"The PostgreSQL 9.5+ database encountered an error while running this query.

ERROR: Don't understand function: corr"
(See generated SQL at the bottom)
According to these results, it seems that  correlation is NOT supported by Looker as a custom field in LookML.
Can anybody confirm this? is there another method I should try?
