Custom Measures give you the flexibility to define your own calculations directly within Ternary, enabling you to transform raw cloud cost data into business-specific metrics without exporting to external tools.

What’s included

• Spreadsheet-style formula editor. Build formulas in a code editor with line numbers and syntax highlighting. Standard arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) and parentheses are supported for order of operations.
• Guided sidebar. Available columns are grouped and displayed in a unified sidebar, with FOCUS standard columns highlighted. You can click “Insert” next to any column or function to add it directly to your formula.
• Example use case. Create metrics such as Effective Savings Rate using a formula like:
   (ListCost - EffectiveCost) / ListCost
• Metric management. Name your metric before saving, and manage created metrics from within the Reporting Engine. Saved metrics can be added as measures to reports.

Why it matters:

Custom Measures moves Ternary beyond cost visibility alone. By enabling users to define their own business logic directly on cloud billing data, teams can normalize costs, calculate savings rates, and begin layering efficiency metrics into their reporting workflows.

Because formulas prioritize FOCUS standard columns, users can write once and measure consistently across cloud providers, reinforcing multi-cloud compatibility.

This is the first step in a broader Custom Measures roadmap with additional capabilities planned in future releases
