How to track and view two-value metrics with Measurely's Dual Metric feature, allowing the tracking of positive and negative values.
A Dual Metric allows you to track both positive and negative values. When creating a dual metric, you’ll have two separate values: one for positive data and one for negative data. This allows you to track data like gains vs. losses, income vs. expenses, or any other scenario where both values are relevant.
In Measurely, the Dual Metric enables users to track and display two separate values: one for positive measurements and one for negative measurements. Whether you're tracking revenue and expenses, gains and losses, or other dual data points, this feature helps you visualize the relationship between the two values over time.
Navigate to the Metrics section in the Measurely dashboard.
Here, you'll have the option to select between a Basic Metric or a Dual Metric. Choose Dual Metric.
Provide a name for your metric (e.g., "Accounts").
Define separate variable names for your positive and negative values (e.g., "Accounts Created" for positive, "Account Deleted" for negative).
To send data to this metric, integrate your Measurely API KEY into your project.
Once your dual metric is created, you can view it directly in the dashboard. Measurely offers a graphical representation that compares both the positive and negative values over time.
Graphical Representation: The chart will show two lines or bars, one representing positive values and the other representing negative values, enabling you to visually compare the two metrics.
