• In a model using the latest YAML spec. Top-level metrics: list on a model that has semantic modeling enabled, alongside semantic_model: and columns:. Available in the dbt platform Latest release track and the dbt Fusion engine.
• In the standalone legacy YAML spec. Refer to Creating metrics for more information.
