Number block: option to compare with Average


Avatar

Currently, you can only compare number on the block to Previous Period, custom period, or Goal.

We'd like to have the option to compare number to Average.

Example metrics we'd like to be able to compare to average:
- Mailchimp: New Subscribed Contacts, Click Rate by Audience,...
- Instagram Business: New Followers, Impressions,...
- Google Analytics: New Users, Views,...
- etc.

Hi Samantha,

Thanks for submitting your request.

For now, what we can suggest in case you have metrics that represent the Average values by default (e.g. Average Purchase Revenue), to set comparison with Other Metric via Advanced Settings. Learn more here: help.databox.com/article/337-overview-advanced-settings#compare-with.
In case you are using Google Sheets/Excel/SQL/API Custom Metrics, you can set an Average Aggregation to a duplicated Custom Metrics. Read more here: help.databox.com/article/538-how-to-set-different-aggregations-for-sql-google-sheets-rest-api-custom-metrics.

Samantha, do you have a use case or an example metric to share where having this comparison option would be beneficial for you?

Thanks.

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for those recommendations in the interim.
The product feature would definitely nicely circumvent that manual workaround.

Example metrics we'd like to be able to compare to average:
- Mailchimp: New Subscribed Contacts, Click Rate by Audience,...
- Instagram Business: New Followers, Impressions,...
- Google Analytics: New Users, Views,...
- etc.
