Learn
We're excited to share our metric knowledge with you! We've been busy collecting information about and building templates for a wide spectrum of business metrics.
In MetricHQ you will find information about (and pre-built connections for) almost 300 metrics across multiple business divisions, such as Marketing, Sales, Advertising, and Social Media ... and we're adding more all the time!
Discover the world of metrics by reading our metric descriptions and referring to our real-life examples. Learn how each metric is calculated and see comparisons, variations, and success benchmarks.
Tip: You can copy a dbt metric definition template for every metric in MetricHQ. It’s a great starting place for dbt™ Semantic Layer users when they’re defining metrics. Simply, select the metric you’re interested in and, under Metric Toolkit, click dbt Metric Definition, then click Copy. Each metric definition template includes its label, description, type, expression, and base metrics.
After delving into our metric examples and descriptions, take action and create a metric of your own!
