Net products purchased

Suppose I'm trying to found out the  total number of products purchased on my website, (counting in the cart additions and subtracting the cart removals), would 'product' dimension be the one I go to?

Does Adobe do these calculations on backend ?

 

Currently, I'm using approximate count distinct function with products dimension and it gives me all products added to cart without excluded cart removals.

 

Any ideas?

@prerna  To get the total number of products purchased I will suggest using the 'Orders' metric along with 'Product' dimension as it takes the values of product variable to calculate the 'units' sold. 

Check the below doc :-
