Hi friends, I’m working with a conversion metric that can be a negative or positive integer, but Growth Book seems to struggle to show any data on this as the metric is a mostly negative figure? The metric type in GB is a sum of revenue per user type, I’ve called it ‘Sum of Gain/Loss Per User’. Effectively the metric shows if a transaction is a cost, breaks even, or is profitable, I’m defining this as profit per transaction minus operational cost of the transaction. No matter how I change the metrics behaviour it never shown any data within the experiment, I only see the message in the screenshots attached. This experiment has had 17,000 clients, with 4250 per variant and the other metrics show data fine. Am I using the wrong metric type? Or doing something else obviously wrong?

you should not set a negative min sample size

Hey graham, thanks for the response. That’s from when I was setting it lower and lower to try and get anything to show. I’ve just set it to 0 and get the same results.

that does look strange

That would be amazing. No stress. matt@collctiv.com is me.

What kind of metric is this?

It’s revenue

ah, mixpanel

I do get values back in the data preview

ok

@fresh-football-47124 thanks for your input yesterday. I ended up creating a ratio of profit over loss rather than a subtraction as a work around so that the figures are always positive. The results are the sum of those ratio values per variant to show the impact. Just curious if you know if negative values have proven to be troublesome elsewhere when used as revenue metrics?
