Advanced Formulas
A "Status" or "Rating" metric can be referenced in formulas for other metrics, and can also itself be calculated from other values.
The underlying value will be converted to a "Status" or "Rating" based on these rules:
Status:
-
Green: value is positive
-
Amber: value is zero
-
Red: value is negative
Rating:
-
0-stars: value is zero
-
1 - 5 stars: value is 1 - 5
-
Any other value is not valid
