Calculated Measurements

Calculated measurements are numerical custom calculations that you can create on top of your existing data. You can create calculated fields from the widget editor, referencing dimensions and measurements, as well as functions and operators.

Required Editions

Available in: Intelligence Reports Advanced

Calculated measurements can be a simple mathematical expression that generates a calculation, or they can be a body of code with advanced conditioning and logic. You can use calculated measurements in dashboards, reports, or pivot tables.

Use Case

You want to calculate the key performance indicators (KPIs) in Intelligence Reports for Engagement, using a different formula. For example, in Intelligence Reports, the Email Open Rate is calculated by dividing the Unique Email Opens by the Email Deliveries. With calculated measurements, you can create another version of the Email Open Rate that uses the Email Sends as the denominator instead of the Email Deliveries. You can also create your own KPIs, in addition to the preconfigured measurements in Intelligence Reports using Calculated Measurements.
