Hi,

I have two metrics with the same data type: dimension (Month) and the dimension structure for both is the same.

 

The concept is that I have deadlines for different dimension items. I was to append these two metrics because one is the prior forecast deadlines and the other metric is the current forecast deadlines. I want the new metric to have both. 

 

When I do metric1 + metric2 i get this error:

“Arithmetic operators only accepts same type arithmetic inputs after implicit casting, received Dimension (Month) operands”

 

Please help! Thank you!

Hi, it seems you are trying to add two months, which means what ?

In plain language, what does the addition of two deadlines should give you ?
