The Offset function is used to add (or subtract) a fixed value to all data points in the metric. The function is often used to correct errors in data that was already streamed to Anodot, thereby avoiding the need to create new data streams for fixing it.
Usage example
Say you have a metric that tracks your company's billed expenses, and you've streamed the data via a new BigQuery stream. As you inspect the data in Anodot, you realize you forgot to take into account property tax of $20 per day. As it is a constant, recurring expense, you can easily add it using the Offset function:
Note: To shift the time-series itself (instead of its values), use the TimeShift function.
