Metrics let you define and save reusable analysis objects in Amplitude. They speed up workflows and increase confidence when building analyses. Metrics are shared **project-wide**, and any member, manager, or admin can create them. Only managers and admins can mark a metric as official.

## Create and configure a new metric

To create and configure a metric for use in Event Segmentation charts or Data Tables:

1. Go to where you add an event to your analysis. Open the _Metrics_ tab and click _+ Define new Metric_.
2. In the modal, specify the metric type to create. Event Segmentation, Revenue, and Formula metrics are available for both chart types. Funnels are also available in Data Tables. Hybrid Formula metrics are only available in Data Tables and Metric Explorer.

{% callout type="note" %}
For more information about custom formulas, refer to [Custom formulas in Amplitude Analytics](/docs/analytics/charts/event-segmentation/event-segmentation-custom-formulas). For Hybrid Formulas that combine event and session inputs, refer to [Hybrid Formulas](/docs/analytics/charts/metric-explorer/hybrid-formulas).

3. Add the events and properties you want.
4. Give the metric a unique name. You can also add a description to explain the metric to your team, and verify (or "officiate") the metric.

{% callout type="note" %}
Only project managers and admins can verify metrics.
{% /callout %}

5. Click _Save_ to add the metric to your analysis.

After you add a metric, you can **edit** or **remove** it. In a Data Table, click **More Options** in the metric header. In an Event Segmentation chart, click _View Metric_ in the flyout panel to edit the metric. Remove a metric from an Event Segmentation chart the same way you remove an event.

To **delete** a metric from the project, click _Edit metric_, then _Delete_, in the metric drawer. Only Amplitude users with the Administrator role can delete metrics they don't own.

For **event total** metrics in Data Tables, click the settings gear next to the date picker to switch between absolute numbers, relative percentage of total, or both.
