2. Click + Create metric.

• A new metric configuration panel opens
• You can define how the metric calculates values

 

You can now define your custom metric.

 

Step 3: Define the metric calculation

1. Enter a name for the metric.

2. Build the calculation using available metrics and functions. You can:

• Combine existing metrics
• Apply calculations such as sum, average, or division
• Add filters to include or exclude specific data

For example, you can create a metric for Net room revenue by excluding specific accounting categories.

 

You can now configure how your metric calculates data.

 

Step 4: Save the custom metric

1. Click Save.

• The metric is added to your metrics library.
• The metric becomes available in the visualization editor

You can now reuse this metric in your dashboards.

2. Combine it with attributes or date dimensions as needed.

• The visualization updates automatically
• The metric applies only to the current visualization unless reused

 

For example, you can combine your custom metric with Property to compare performance across locations.

 

You can now analyze your data using your custom metric. You can edit or update metrics at any time. Changes to a metric affect all visualizations where it is being used.
