Thx for the video. I would love to know how to create a MAX value for a metric, just like we have the Average value of a metric, when importing GA4 metric. When I try to do it I cant use a calculated metric it says its already an aggregated value - the only options thus are average or sum, I want MAX. how can this be done? I am yet to find a solution in Looker Studio without needing to do Big query manipulation. Thanks in advance

Great video - question though. I haven't been able to find a way to keep my custom metric when making a copy of a report to use for another client. Is there a way to keep a custom metric as part of a report "template" or do I have to re-establish the metric each time I create a new report from an existing report.

Unfortunately, when changing the data source custom metrics will almost always break -> you’ll have to recreate them in the new dashboard
