Hi - I am using the Metrics component, with both a primary and secondary value. When I turn on the trend color and icon, I believe it is reverse what is should be. This would be a negative trend in my image, but it shows as positive. I could be missing something.

Hi @Kevin Pathiakis,
This usually happens because the trend direction is based on how the metric is interpreted, not just the value change.
Check:
- Whether your metric is set to “Higher is better” vs “Lower is better”
- The comparison logic (current vs previous)
- If your secondary value is being treated as a baseline or delta
If “lower is better” (e.g., cost, errors), a decrease may show as positive (green).
Adjust the metric settings accordingly to match your use case.
