I don't know, the data model seems important too. Gotta have that underlying structure to build the calcs on, right?

I agree with Jade. Eval expression is the way to go for calculated fields. Super straightforward once you get the hang of it.

A) Eval expression is definitely the correct answer. That's the syntax we use to define calculated fields in our dashboards.
