Trouble using a custom segment in a calculated metric

Avatar

Level 1

I created a custom segment using two events with the "Only After" sequence.

I am attempting to use the custom segment as part of a calculated metric where the custom segment is the numerator.

When I select it, it is acting a container and requesting a metric, dimension, segment, etc. 

What am I doing wrong or what do I need to add to the container?  the Custom Segment is two metrics and it is a segment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Brian

@brianburk0926 you will still need to drop a metric that is associated with that segment, for example, where you have 'Users that Add Payee then Enroll that Payee in eBill', drop a metric that measures this segment, such as a visit, clicks, etc. Then now use the denominator associated with the calculation.

Thanks for the guidance.  That appears to have worked.  I may need to adjust my metrics selection, but the returned value is about what I expected.
