Measures Overview

On a plan, a measure is used to store quantitative values that contain numerical data like the number of hours, amount, dual value, and so on. In addition to storing a numeric value, you can create formulas to calculate the value of a measure. You must create all the necessary measures before you can create a plan.

When creating a plan, you can select up to six measures. If you create a plan from data in Analytics, the measures must be mapped to the equivalent Analytics measures in the data source. For more information, see Mapping Measures to Data Source.

You can create measures using the standard Salesforce user interface. For more information, see Creating a Measure .
