Tracking numeric distribution metrics in Snowflake can help businesses uncover hidden patterns, predict upcoming trends, and make data-driven decisions. The four key metrics to monitor are minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation. By tracking these metrics, businesses can identify issues before they become major problems, understand their overall performance, and maintain business stability and predictability. Using SQL queries in Snowflake, businesses can calculate these metrics for specific time frames or partitions of data, providing valuable insights into sales trends and performance.
