Derived element effects on derived metrics

Most derived metrics are represented correctly by derived elements. However, a derived metric that uses a division such as Profit/Revenue is initially calculated incorrectly when using derived elements. This is because, by default, derived metrics are evaluated before derived elements. You must change the evaluation order to evaluate derived elements before this type of derived metric. For information on derived element effects on derived metrics and how to evaluate them correctly, see the In-memory Analytics Help .
