Reference: Metric Calculations for Dependent Metrics
Workday provides a number of metric calculations for use with custom scorecards. Some
Workday product areas (Example: HCM and Projects) provide Workday-delivered
calculations for specific use cases.
Workday also enables you to combine the
WD Simple Arithmetic
calculation with
other metrics to form dependent metrics.Workday-Delivered Calculation | Description | Organizations | Configuration Options |
|---|---|---|---|
WD Simple Arithmetic | Enables you to create a metric based on other metrics. You can map up to 6 existing
metrics to variables named A, B, C, D, E, and F to create new metrics. You don't need to
use all variables. Example: You can use A and B, or A and C, or A and E, or all 6
variables. Workday calculates the value of each of the metrics A, B, C, D, E, and F
first, and then calculates the value of the dependent metric. Use
Multiplication effectively changes the division operator (/) to a
multiplication operator (*).Reverse Sign reverses the
positive/negative sign of the calculation
result.Calculation: (A - B) / (C - D) / (E - F) or (A
- B) * (C - D) * (E - F).Custom Metric Examples: To
create a Revenue Per Headcount metric, assign a Revenue metric to A and
a Headcount metric to C.To create a Days Sales Outstanding
metric, assign a Revenue metric to A, Accounts Receivables metric to C,
and Number of Days metric to E. | Supervisory Organization Cost Center Hierarchy Custom
