5. For **Billing Period Backfill**, select a billing period (e.g., **Apr 2024**) for which the tag should be backfilled.
6. Enable the **Can Override** toggle if you want the virtual tag to override an existing service cost value. For example, if you create a virtual tag that conflicts with an existing provider tag, this option will override the existing provider tag key in Vantage reports.
7. In the **Values** section, click **+Add**. Select whether you want to create a **Custom Value**, **Business Metric**, or **Cost Based** value. Click through the tabs below for instructions on each value type.
:::note
You cannot use an existing Virtual Tag within the **Output Costs Filter** for any type of new Virtual Tag. You can, however, select an existing _provider tag_ (e.g., one that comes from AWS).
