Create a Derived Metric by Selecting the Aggregation Function

You can create a derived metric by selecting the aggregation function used to calculate values in an existing metric. Aggregation functions are used to calculate subtotals for a metric (for example, Sum, Average, Standard Deviation, Median, etc.).

You can create a derived metric that calculates the average of the Revenue metric values. The derived metric is automatically named Avg(Revenue), although you can change it.

1. Open the dashboard you want to modify.
2. Create a derived metric and reserve it for future use in a visualization. In the Datasets panel, right-click the metric to use to create a derived metric and choose Aggregate By.
3. Select the aggregation function to use to calculate metric values.
