Explore & custom fields
Build queries with fields, breakdowns and date ranges; add formula metrics; save queries for reuse.
Building a query
Explore is the query builder behind every SpendMix surface — the same query you preview here can be downloaded as CSV, pushed to a destination, scheduled, or served over the API.
- Source & level — pick a platform and a granularity (account, campaign, ad — varies per source).
- Fields — metrics and dimensions from the field catalog (GA4 alone exposes 300+, including your custom dimensions).
- Breakdowns — split rows by date, campaign, device, country and more.
- Date range — a preset (
last_7d,last_30d,this_month…) or explicit start/end dates. - Accounts — all selected accounts, a single one, or an account group (client).
Custom formula fields
Click + Add custom field to define a metric as a formula over existing fields. Formulas support arithmetic, parentheses and functions like if, coalesce and safe_divide; division by zero yields an empty cell rather than an error.
cpm_custom = spend / impressions * 1000
profit = purchase_value - spend
true_cpa = safe_divide(spend, conversions)Custom fields flow with the query — into the results table, CSV downloads and the REST API (via the custom parameter).
Saved queries
Save stores the full query — source, level, fields, breakdowns, dates, accounts and custom fields — under a name. Saved queries power scheduled destination pushes, and the Saved dropdown restores one in a click.
Reading the results
- Blended view — the cross-channel page normalizes currencies and shows period-over-period deltas on every KPI.
- Partial-data warnings — if some accounts fail or a platform truncates a pull, an amber strip names exactly what is missing instead of silently showing a smaller total.
