A calculated dimension is a non-numerical field or dimension that you can create on top of your existing data. Calculated dimensions don’t exist physically in the database. Rather, each calculated dimension represents a query that can be referenced to from any report, pivot table, and widget in your dashboard pages.
You can create and manage calculated dimensions from the Calculated Dimension tab or within a widget.
You can use a calculated dimension to:
- Remove unwanted characters or spaces. You can also use it to shorten a name, such as a long website name, without affecting the data.
- Remove unwanted spaces from dimension values. If you have a campaign name with too many spaces in between the words, you can remove the additional spacing, leaving a single space between words.
