  • Define A New Variable Value
    When defining a metric, instead of setting criteria based on a defined value, you can describe a metric in terms of a variable. At run-time, when an analysis is run, the user is prompted to enter a value for this variable which will subsequently be used in the calculations.
  • Define a New Variable Field
    When defining a metric, if a field to be used in a metric definition is unknown, then a variable field can be created. When an analysis is run, the user is prompted for the actual field to be assigned.
  • Define a Project Variable
    When defining a metric, if a project value to be used in a metric definition is unknown, you can create a project variable. These variables exist at the workbook level but the individual values can be set at the project level.
  • Change the Value of a Variable
    You can change a variable value in the Metrics pane.
  • Create a Variable Field with Variable Values
    When defining a metric, if a field to be used in a metric definition is unknown, then a variable field can be created. When an analysis is run, the user is prompted for the actual field to be assigned.
