Editing a custom measure

You can edit the definition, formatting, and information about a custom measure after you create it.

1. In the field picker, expand the Custom Fields section.
2. Do one of the following:
   1. Hover over the field you want to duplicate and select More > Edit.
   2. If the field is already selected in the Data table, click the Gear button and select Edit.
3. To change the field that should be aggregated, select a new field from the Field to measure drop-down list.
4. To change the type of measure function, select a new measure type from the Measure type drop-down list.
5. In the Name text box, enter a new name if necessary.
   The name appears in the field picker and in the date table. If you change Field to measure or Measure type, you should change the custom measure's name to match.
6. In the Filters tab, add, edit, or remove UI-based or custom filters.

   If there is an existing custom filter, the custom filter Expression box will automatically appear. If there is no existing custom filter, click the downward arrow next to Custom filter to add an optional custom filter in the Expression box instead of or in addition to a UI-based filter.

7. In the Fields tab, add, change, or remove any formatting in the Format section or add an optional description of up to 255 characters in the Description text box to give other users additional details about the custom field, including its intended use.
8. Click Save.
