I need help creating a metric from multidimensional analysis. This metric should be for the 99th and 95th percentile. When trying to create the Dynatrace metrics, the message “Custom percentile is not supported.”

What can I do to graph this on a dashboard?

Hi&nbsp;[@tsagredo](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/23764),

Try this metric expression in Data explorer:

builtin:service.response.time:filter(and(or(in(“dt.entity.service”,entitySelector(“type(service),softwareTechnologies(~“NGINX~”)”))),or(in(“dt.entity.service”,entitySelector(“type(service),entityName.in(~“Your Service name~”)”))))):splitBy(“dt.entity.service”):percentile(99.0):sort(value(percentile(99.0),descending))

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

Mizső
