Certain types of analysis require an interaction with data that helps a user comprehend it and see its patterns. This is where Operators come into play. Operators are functions that help you perform specific mathematical and logical analyses of your business data.
In business analysis, operators are crucial because they help you discover hidden information. Operators can range from simple mathematical operations to advanced time analyses. A gear symbol distinguishes operators from Metrics and Dimensions.
Operators help you to:
Compare two key metrics
Evaluate percentage change over any time frame
Understand peak performances and low performances and much more
With Operators, you can perform multiple business-specific analyses like:
Trailing 12 months (TTM)
Percentage change over time
Absolute and percentage change in value
Compare the current time period vs the previous time period, etc.
