Calculation

You can then translate these expressions into the specific querying language of the tool you’re using, or another format your system of choice may require. Keep in mind that these formulas are sample starting points. They are by no means the end all and be all of formulas. Part of the beauty of the Data Dictionary is its role as a springboard for customizing metrics in a fashion which best suits your organization. 

However, please note that similar to how players expose data points by different names, each player exposes different data points entirely. Thus, some of the metrics below may not be supported across players. To check if the players your team relies on are supported, check out our documentation here.
