About conditional metrics and report filters (advanced options)

When a report contains a filter and a conditional metric, the report filter and the filter contained in the metric interact to produce the report results. The advanced options for the conditional metric establish this interaction. These options are described below:

  • The Embedding method determines how the filters are merged by setting which filter is evaluated first. By default, the report filter is applied first.

  • The Remove related report filter elements option is used when the report filter includes a qualification that uses an attribute related to an attribute in the metric filter. By default, the related attributes in the report filter are ignored.

These options are not independent of each other. Although they each affect the filter differently, they also work together. After you understand the options separately, refer to Combining the embedding method and remove related elements settings to learn how they interact to affect the conditional metric results.
