Perfect! Glad it helped !

Thank you for the explanation! .. Excellent!

This was a good how-to, thank you Tim. I'm still a little lost on the why? It's kind of like alerts. I have to build a dashboard that has everything my user needs, so they can then create another asset off of it, to see the same data points, but in a different location. In your example, the metric is essentially a copy of your area graph in the dashboard. Why wouldn't we want users to come back to the dashboard to see what they need to see - to then drill down into the why? I see real potential here in being able to create a metric right from the data pane, just select a metric, chose a date field, and have it build -- and then be able to use as shown here, AND as assets in a dashboard either as KPI cards at the top of a dash, or in viz-in-tooltips where you want to provide added context like YoY or MoM performance. As a stand alone thing, I'm still struggling to see it.

Is it possible to aggregate these Metrics into a dashboard type view? That would make for some fast prototyping of dashboards.

No metrics is a server and online feature only at least for now.
