Create a calculated metric definition by aggregating the automatic metric
definitions, the manual metric definitions, and the calculated metric
definitions.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_esg.metric_manager

## About this task

You can create calculated metric definitions which can be a combination of other metric definitions and use the data collected in child metric definitions to calculate and aggregate data for complex scenarios. You can also specify the frequency and the method to aggregate the metric definitions.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllOperational Sustainability ManagementOperational Sustainability WorkspaceMetricsCalculated metric definitions.
2. Click New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For a detailed explanation of the fields, see [Calculated metric definition form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_QmdQapAYnSYIySPWt5DTw "The fields of the calculated metric definition form are explained in this topic.").
4. Click Save.
5. To aggregate the data, select Aggregate.

## Result

The metric definition is saved in the Metric definitions list.

## What to do next

Specify the formula for metric calculation. Refer to [Formula building in a calculated metric definition](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/32wheyXNergDOzzeTgV60A "In a calculated metric definition, you can create formulas to perform calculations for any data that you may require.").
