Can you create calculations in Sumo cards?

I want to create an average unit rate in a sumo card (revenue/units), and built it in the card itself so it is not accidently averaged or inaccurately manipulated when filtering.

    While you can't create beast mode calculations directly on a sumo card, you can use calculations created on other cards and saved to the dataset. To do this, create your calculation on a standard, non-sumo card (it doesn't really matter which type, as long as it isn't a sumo card). When you save it, make sure you check the box for "Share Calculation on Dataset".

    After you save the beast mode and then save the card, the beast mode field will become available on Sumo cards built using this dataset.

     

     

    I hope that helps!
