Define a Retained Users Metric in the Semantic Layer
Build a metric definition for retained users that downstream tools can reuse consistently.
Retained users are being computed three ways across dashboards, so no one can explain whether differences come from behavior or from SQL assumptions. Define the semantic ingredients once, then let consumers slice the same metric instead of rewriting it. The trap is skipping the semantic inputs and jumping straight to a dashboard formula that only one tool can reuse. Step 1 · Publish the semantic base Model normalized user activity with clear entities, time dimensions, and exclusion-ready flags before defining the metric. Metrics definitions are strongest when they sit on top of stable semantic models rather than ad hoc joins.…
