Output only. Types of restricted data that this metric contains.
formula
string
Required. The calculated metric's definition. Maximum number of unique referenced custom metrics is 5. Formulas supports the following operations: + (addition), - (subtraction), - (negative), * (multiplication), / (division), () (parenthesis). Any valid real numbers are acceptable that fit in a Long (64bit integer) or a Double (64 bit floating point number). Example formula: "( customEvent:parameterName + cartPurchaseQuantity ) / 2.0"
invalidMetricReference
boolean
Output only. If true, this calculated metric has a invalid metric reference. Anything using a calculated metric with invalidMetricReference set to true may fail, produce warnings, or produce unexpected results.
MetricUnit
Possible types of representing the calculated metric's value.
Enums
METRIC_UNIT_UNSPECIFIED
MetricUnit unspecified or missing.
STANDARD
This metric uses default units.
CURRENCY
This metric measures a currency.
FEET
This metric measures feet.
MILES
This metric measures miles.
METERS
This metric measures meters.
KILOMETERS
This metric measures kilometers.
MILLISECONDS
This metric measures milliseconds.
SECONDS
This metric measures seconds.
MINUTES
This metric measures minutes.
HOURS
This metric measures hours.
RestrictedMetricType
Labels that mark the data in calculated metric used in conjunction with user roles that restrict access to cost and/or revenue metrics.
