Field descriptions for configuring metrics in Report Builder.
Fields
Definitions
Subtotal (this request)
The subtotal of the response received from the server. Meaning, it provides the total number of items for line item metrics over a date range selected according to the elements you specify. When you click this option, data for all items with the specified starting rank and number of entries is totaled. This option is available only if you have selected a metric that you can aggregate. Subtotals presented still depend on any other criteria or filter you set in step 2 of the Request Wizard. A suggested use of Subtotal (this request) is in combination with filtering.
Average
Averages the item by day, week, or month. You can also specify none. For example, if you select the Paths metric and map the names of the paths to the spreadsheet, you can choose to display the number of visits to the content path for a given time period as either the raw data (actual number of visits / time period), or as an average (number of visits / time period) per day, per week or per month.
Prepend Text
Adds a prefix of numeric or string values in the cell.
Postpend Text
