Other Metric Set Tools
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
Metric sets include many more tools to help with your analysis, which are detailed in separate articles.
In the toolbar, you can find:
States for calling attention to some data, or displaying it differently based on conditions.
Period over period or slicer comparisons for viewing data from different time periods or filter values, or using it for state conditions or formulas.
Formulas for adding a new measure or an entirely new metric set based on a formula or script.
Contextual measures for inputting values to compare against your data, such as goals or targets.
The context menu provides you with additional options when you right-click or long-tap data:
Group members: for grouping together the items of your choice into a single item.
Measure corrections/data annotations: for correcting or updating data for public viewing, or for what-if scenarios for your own analysis.
The metric set has overall settings you can access by clicking the Edit icon in the Data Analysis Panel.
Transpose Result: A transposed metric set swaps the rows with the columns in the result, including displaying a different measure in each row instead of a separate column for each measure. This can be used to display a single column or chart series comparing different measure values, whereas each measure is normally a separate column or series.
Top/Bottom Items and Other Group: you can filter the metric to display only the top or bottom 'N' items of some number, or group together the smallest items into a single item (or use other criteria).
