Datadog Create custom metric from another custom metric

I have a datadog count metric that I want to create a new metric from which shows the difference between two agent points on the metric, so I can see the change between points.

Is there a way to create a metric from another metric using the datadog dashboard.

If you have an ever increasing counter, you can use the a function called rate. You'll be able to select it with the + on the query line. With that you'll be able to have a rate of increase per seconds, minutes or hours.

If you are looking to get a difference between the same metric but at another point in the past, you have a function called timeshift that could also help. This is also accessible with the small + on the right of the query line.

Finally, if you are looking at comparing two different metrics, you have a button called Advanced that will enable you to write more complex queries such as a difference between two metrics.
