KB34118: How to compare the properties of two metrics using Command Manager?

In a project, users may wish to compare the properties of two or more metrics, to establish whether these may be duplicates.
One means of doing this is to use the "List all metrics for project" outline under Outlines\Metrics in Command Manager and export the content for further analysis.
This can be achieved as follows:

• Connect to a project source from Command Manager
• Insert the outline "LIST ALL PROPERTIES FOR METRIC", which may be found under Outlines\Metrics, and specify the name and location of the metric in question:
   
  

•  
  LIST ALL PROPERTIES FOR METRIC "Revenue" IN FOLDER "\Public Objects\Metrics\Sales Metrics" FOR PROJECT "Strategy Tutorial";
   
  
• The results of the above script will include the following information for the metric in question:
   
  

•  
  NAME
  ID
  DESCRIPTION
  CREATIONTIME
  MODIFICATIONTIME
  OWNER
  HIDDEN
  FORMULA
  LEVEL
  CONDITION
  TRANSFORMATION
  EXPRESSION
  LONGDESCRIPTION 
   
  
• Export the results of the above to Excel, via the option 'Export Results to Excel' under the 'File' menu.
• Repeat the above steps for any further metrics as desired.
• This will allow for easy comparison of the metrics' properties in the resulting spreadsheet.
