Example:Combine metric answers with equations, for example:
\{{CDP+Scope 2 emisssions}} / \{{M2}}
Calculated Answers
Formulas are used to calculate answers dynamically. Consider a hypothetical metric named “My Group+increment” with the following formula:
\{{My Group+employees}} + 1
For every answer of the +employees metric, this formula would create a new answer for the +increment metric that was one greater. So if My Company’s 2015 answer for +employees was 100, then its 2015 answer for +increment would be 101.
Metrics as Variables
A metric can be represented within a formula as a metric’s full name within double curly brackets, eg:
\{{CDP+Scope 1 Emissions}}
Because these names can be rather long, the formula interface provides a shortcut: when using the “add metric” button to find metrics, a temporary short name is provided, eg M0, M1…. You can then use those short names in the formula, eg:
\{{M0}}
Upon saving, the name will be converted to the full name. Note that if you already know the full name, you can type it directly in the formula interface and skip the “add metric” step.
