+A nice little feature was added in the latest release which is called metric aliases. With this you can specify an alias for the metric you are pulling. This is useful if you want to do further calculations on your metrics and don't want to write the original name (which can be long) all the time .
+Please see an example query below using a metric alias (same as the example above just with the alias):

+```
+export 'Calls per Minute' as calls from 'Overall Application Performance' on Application 'Bundy Online Shoes' for 2 days
