Compound metrics

Compound metric expressions are made up of simple metrics. A compound metric does not have its own level, conditionality, or transformation statements, though the simple metrics it uses may have those statements. For more information about compound metrics, see the Metrics section of the MicroStrategy Developer Help (formerly the MicroStrategy Desktop Help).

You can specify a given metric with just its name if it is the only item in the project by that name. If there are two items in the project with the same name, but in different locations, Command Manager will return an ambiguity error message. To correct this error, specify the full path to the metric and enclose it in brackets [ ], such as [Public Objects\Metrics\Sales Metrics\Revenue].
