A measure of data quality in the source data is critical information in the management of the data assets in the organization. The cost of invalid data in metrics represented in a scorecard helps organizations derive value in monitoring data quality of the source data. As a data analyst, you might want to associate a value, such as a currency unit or any custom unit, to metrics and metric groups. You can then run the scorecard to view the total cost of invalid data in the source data.
You can define the cost unit for a metric based on the business needs. You can also configure a variable or fixed cost for each metric when you create a scorecard or edit it.
