Hi all, looking for some advice on how to implement a metric. I’ve got a custom denominator on my metric, and the timestamp of the events in the denominator occur after the numerator timestamps. What I’m seeing is that the count in the numerator is lower because the timestamp comparisons that Growthbook adds as part of the query it generates look for numerator timestamp >= denominator timestamp (+/- conversion delay) and numerator timestamp <= denominator timestamp + conversion window. I’ve set a large conversion window for both numerator and denominator. I’ve also explored adding a negative value for conversion delay, which does include more of the numerator events, but unless I set it to align with the experiment start time it’s including events from before the experiment too, which is not what I want. Do you have any guidance on how I should implement the metric such that I have a count of all events for the numerator and denominator after experiment start for this setup? Or am I doing something incorrectly which is making this trickier?

We have metric place holders

awesome thanks Graham, I'll give these a try but they sound like they should help me out
