# How to Add Metrics and Drill Downs in Analyse
## Learn how to add and customise metrics and drill downs in Analyse to enhance your dashboards and gain deeper insights.
Metrics and drill downs in Analyse help you **visualise data trends** and **explore insights** without changing your core filters. **Metrics display key data points**, while **drill downs allow you to break down data further** (e.g., by brand, sentiment, or time period).

#### **Troubleshooting Metric & Drill Down Issues**
1. **Issue: "I don’t see my metric after adding it."**
1. Refresh the page and check if the metric appears in the dashboard.
2. Ensure you have **selected and saved a valid metric type**.
2. **Issue: "My drill down isn’t changing the data."**
1. Confirm that the drill down type is **compatible with the dashboard filters**.
2. Try selecting **a different drill down category** (e.g., if a brand drill down isn’t working, try a sentiment drill down).
