Hi I’ve been working on pulling revenue data and I’m a little confused by some incongruity I noticed in my charts. When I set up a chart grouped by $price and based on the TOTALREVENUE(A) I have one set of numbers for daily revenue then when I use that same user and make the chart based on “Properties: revenue” it produces another entirely different set.
From what does the difference in these two means of summarizing revenue arise?

Hi
Thanks for writing in and happy to help! To clarify, are you wondering why you are getting different results when you look at RevenueTotal with $price property vs RevenueTotal with $revenue property?
If so, generally speaking revenue should be price times quantity. So if the event had a quantity more than 1, then revenue =/= price.
If you are seeing differences when using $revenue vs $price, then it’s likely the case that there are different quantity counts. Depending on what kind of analysis you wish to do, you would choose to either use $revenue (price x quantity) or just $price.
Hope this helps!
