Add a basic metric to your map
You can add a simple metric to your map, which could be:
– A demographic data

Perform a calculation to define your custom metric
Smappen allows you to perform calculations on population data and/or your Points of interest searches and/or your imported data.
The categories “My Data (X data)” and “Points of Interest (X data)” and “Population (175 data)” appear in the dropdown menu.
In the “Formula” field, you can choose the following operations:
– Addition with the + symbol
– Subtraction with the – symbol
– Multiplication with the * symbol
– Division with the / symbol
– Separate your indicators and make your formulas more complex by using parentheses to isolate elements in your formulas.
Example: Perform a calculation on a census indicator
For example, using Census data: I want to calculate the total number of children under 10 years old on Smappen.
I can add the following census indicators: the number of people under 5 years + the number of people aged 5 to 9 years.
