Calculated Metrics

Select Manage > Calculated Metrics in the side navigation pane to access the Calculated Metrics page, where you can edit, copy, and delete calculated metrics created in Digital Analytics Explore.

You cannot create a calculated metric from this page. Calculated metrics can be created only when building or editing a report. See Calculated metrics.

Select a category from the drop-down list at the top of the page. All the calculated metrics in the selected category are listed. The page lists the metric name, creator, date created, and last update date for each metric. Click in the header of any of these columns to sort the rows in ascending or descending order.

The Action column shows icons for editing, copying, and deleting calculated metrics.

Table 1. Available actions on the Calculated Metrics page
	Edit Calculated Metric	A calculated metric can be edited only by the user who created it or an administrator. You can remove standard metrics from the formula, but you cannot add additional metrics. If you edit a calculated metric that is being used by a report, your edits are applied only to reports that have not been processed. The new metric formula is applied to reports going forward; recurring Explore reports are not back-processed to use the new metric. Existing reports for past dates continue to display values based on the original calculated metric formula.
	Copy Calculated Metric	Create a copy of the calculated metric with a new name. You can edit any of the parameters for the new calculated metric. You can remove standard metrics from the formula, but you cannot add additional metrics.
	Delete Calculated Metric	A calculated metric can be deleted only by the user who created it or an administrator. If you attempt to delete a calculated metric that is being used by a report, a message displays, listing all reports that use the calculated metric. Reports that use the calculated metric must be deleted before you can delete the calculated metric.
