# MEASURES

"MEASURES" is a field that uses a SQL aggregate function, such as `COUNT`, `SUM`, `AVG`, `MIN`, or `MAX`. 

Any field computed based on the values of other measure values is also a "MEASURE." 

"MEASURES" can be used to filter grouped values. For example, "MEASURES" for a "Tokens" view might include "Count" (a count) and "Distinct Token Addresses" (a sum).  

Although "DIMENSIONS" can be non-numerical attributes such as "Categories," "MEASURES" can only ever be numerical.
