Hi!
I had a strange use case with metrics and Lightdash, and wanted to see if others had run into the same problem:
I have a summarised data source, and from it I’ve create a metric called metric_one_percentage
(which is just sum(COL_A)
/ sum(COL_B)
), and the dimension is ENTITY_A.
So an example output for a monthly time grain would be:
I want to create a second metric which shows the percentage of entities, of all the entities, where the metric_one_percentage
exceeds a certain threshold, x.
So in essence the formula would be:
Number of entities with a metric_one_percentage >= x
/ Number of entities
However I would also like this metric to have the flexibility with the time series that metric_one_percentage
would have, that is, I don’t want to pre-define the time period for metric_one_percentage
to be able to calculate the second metric. I would like the user to define the time grain when working in Lightdash.
Is this possible?
