FAQ:
Q: What if I'm creating a formula that has metrics with different frequencies?
A: Depending on your frequency selection we will automatically transform the data for you. E.g if you have daily data & monthly data in a formula we will automatically sum that daily data for you. Booya!
Q: What happens as my metrics get new data?
A: Great question! We'll automatically update your formulas the new values for you.
