What does this feature do?

Related Value Metrics link the value of another metric within the assumptions page to the metric labeled “related value”.

Why should I care?

If the metric you’re adjusting only needs to reference another metric without performing a mathematical function like multiplying, adding, subtracting, or dividing it then a related value metric allows you to bypass these steps.

Where can I find it?

Related value metrics can only be found on the assumptions page. Only “Percentage of Revenue”, “Per Unit”, and “Per Person” expenses as well as “Inventory” assets and “Accounts Payable” liabilities include related value metrics by default. If you click “add metric” in any drawer within the assumptions page you can change any default input metric to a related value metric by adjusting the “metric type” within the edit menu.

How should I use it?

Use related value metrics to link other parts of the model into existing formula/calculation metrics. For example, when adding a “Percentage of Revenue” expense you can adjust the “revenue” metric to link to either “total revenue” or a specific revenue stream’s revenue. This metric is a related value metric by default which means to change which revenue stream this expense links to you would only need to select the appropriate metric with the “From Metric” dropdown.
