Create Composite Metrics
Concept
Composite metrics are calculated around multiple metrics (atomic metrics, composite metrics) through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations. The calculation relationship between different metrics can be customized according to business needs. For example, Channel A Sales Proportion = Channel A Sales / (Channel A Sales + Channel B Sales) or Channel A Sales / Total Sales.

Clear it to select dimensions manually from the union of the referenced metrics' dimensions; all candidates are selected by default. After a formula change, selected dimensions that remain available are retained, and those no longer available are removed. |
| Time dimension | Select a time field from the applicable dimensions for time-based analysis. If none is available, the page displays No time dimension in applicable dimensions and no configuration is needed. |
