Upcoming large redshift surveys potentially allow precision measurements of the galaxy power spectrum. To accurately measure P(k) on the largest scales, comparable to the depth of the survey, it is crucial that finite volume effects are accurately corrected for in the data analysis. Here we derive analytic expressions for the one such effect that has not previously been worked out exactly: that of the so-called integral constraint. We also show that for data analysis methods based on counts in cells, multiple constraints can be included via simple matrix operations, thereby rendering the results less sensitive to galactic extinction and misestimates of the shape of the radial selection function.
