Metrics with different units
A metric must be able to handle different units of measurement when contributing as well as different frequencies. At the moment, metrics only support one unit of measurement for all its values. The suggested solution would be to create separate similar metrics for each unit of measurement needed. Example: One metric can be add in kilometers or in miles.

Hi Rafael! That's great feedback, and we've heard the need for similar flexibility for localization of Currency metrics as well. While we explore that feasibility, you are correct, the suggested solution is to create separate but similar metrics based on the respective units of measurement. Thanks!
Some of the cases most important for us are the metrics that can be measured in kilometers/miles or in litres/galons. It would be great if we could include the metrics with these measures in the same metric and with the possibility to choose the measure (for european users kilometers and american users miles, for instance).
0The suggested solution, create separate metrics for each unit of measurement needed, it's not an option for us. We don't want to create the repeat the same metric depending the measure unit. Please, keep in mind this point because it's something very common.
