Using calculated metric with custom attribution window in segment builder

I'm trying to use a calculated metric within the segment builder, and it's not showing up. I can see the metric in the calculated metrics section, and in workspace, but it does not show up in segment builder. I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that it uses a custom lookback window.

The reason I'm trying to use this metric in a segment is because of an issue with lookback windows. We were using a visitor container in a segment and it was causing lots of inconsistency in our reporting when we pull different date ranges. So we changed it to visit window and it was too narrow. So we were trying to split the difference with a custom 90-day lookback window on this metric.

Unfortunately, calculated metrics cannot be used in Segments...

 

Maybe if you explain what you are trying to achieve, we might be able to help find a solution to create the segment you need.

    Hi @mitchhowell ,

    As @jennifer_dungan mentioned calculated metrics cannot be used in segments but based upon the definition you have for your calculated metric you might be able to recreate the logic in segment manually. So if you can share more details it will be helpful in figuring out what can be done.

    Cheers!
