Global Instances and Event Instances available in Calculated Metrics BuilderNew

I would love to have a global Instances metric (as the global Visit metric) or Event Instances metrics available in Calculated Metrics Builder. Here is the business case I would like to share: For our customer, we would like to calculate average values for some events. For example, we set the NUMERIC event “Deposit Amount (EUR)”, but no additional eVar (since there are only 100 eVars available) and no additional counter event. Please see below an example on how “Deposit Amount (EUR)” is calculated for July 12:User 1: Deposit Amount = 100 EURUser 2: Deposit Amount = 200 EURUser 3: Deposit Amount = 300 EURFor July 12, the event “Deposit Amount (EUR)” would show 600. Consequently, I would require the Event Instances (in this case 3 Instances) for the metric Deposit Amount (EUR) in order to be able to calculate the average. I would like to use the following calculation:Deposit Amount = Deposit Amount (EUR) / Deposit Amount (EUR) InstancesUnfortunately, the “Deposit Amount (EUR) Instances” metric is currently not available for events. Another possibility to calculate the instances would be to apply a segment on a global Instances metric (hit-based segment, “Deposit Amount (EUR)” exists). But neither the global Instances metric is available. The available calculation “mean” would not solve the problem either. Are there any plans to add such metrics to the Calculated Metrics Builder? This would be highly appreciated.

Mega Dimension that combines Pagename, Custom Link name, Download Link name, and Exit Link nameNew

I'd like to propose a new variable that is used to capture both pageviews and actions. I've always done this as a best practice in my implementations, but started to think it wasn't necessary now that dimensions and dimension types can be mixed in Workspace pathing. For example, I can start with Page, select a page, then drag in Custom Link, select a link value, drag in page, etc. This type of analysis is done often in the app world, but makes just as much sense in web analysis too. However, that example is not a replacement for a single variable that captures everything. One big reason is that the above bold example assumes there is a custom link in between each page view. There may not be - a pageview could take place immediately following a pageview - and that path would be ignored from the visualization.A similarly big reason is that two non-pageview links in a row also wouldn't be represented in the bold example. And finally, if the user happened to download a file in between those steps, there would be no identification of that action. Here's an example of the type of path that could be identified thanks to this mega-dimension - currently populated via my custom prop. I've highlighted a path of users starting on home, clicking a dead image (Custom Link), clicking the Photos nav menu button (Custom Link), then landing on the photos page. You can see the path listed on top was just a simple, home then Exit Link. If a download link had occurred, that information would also be listed in the path.
