In this lesson, you create Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPIs are used to gauge performance of a value defined by a Base measure, against a Target value also defined by a measure, or by an absolute value. In reporting client applications, KPIs can provide business professionals a quick and easy way to understand a summary of business success or to identify trends. To learn more, see KPIs

Estimated time to complete this lesson: 10 minutes

Prerequisites

This article is part of a tabular modeling tutorial, which should be completed in order. Before performing the tasks in this lesson, you should have completed the previous lesson: Lesson 6: Create measures.

Create Key Performance Indicators

To create an InternetCurrentQuarterSalesPerformance KPI

  1. In the model designer, click the FactInternetSales table.

  2. In the measure grid, click an empty cell.

  3. In the formula bar, above the table, type the following formula:

    InternetCurrentQuarterSalesPerformance :=IF([InternetPreviousQuarterSalesProportionToQTD]<>0,([InternetCurrentQuarterSales]-[InternetPreviousQuarterSalesProportionToQTD])/[InternetPreviousQuarterSalesProportionToQTD],BLANK())

    This measure serves as the Base measure for the KPI.

  4. In the measure grid, right-click InternetCurrentQuarterSalesPerformance > Create KPI.

  5. In the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dialog box, in Target select Absolute Value, and then type 1.1.

  6. In the left (low) slider field, type 1, and then in the right (high) slider field, type 1.07.

  8. Click OK to complete the KPI.

    In the measure grid, notice the icon next to the InternetCurrentQuarterSalesPerformance measure. This icon indicates that this measure serves as a Base value for a KPI.

To create an InternetCurrentQuarterMarginPerformance KPI

  1. In the measure grid for the FactInternetSales table, click an empty cell.

  2. In the formula bar, above the table, type the following formula:

    InternetCurrentQuarterMarginPerformance :=IF([InternetPreviousQuarterMarginProportionToQTD]<>0,([InternetCurrentQuarterMargin]-[InternetPreviousQuarterMarginProportionToQTD])/[InternetPreviousQuarterMarginProportionToQTD],BLANK())

  3. Right-click InternetCurrentQuarterMarginPerformance > Create KPI.

  4. In the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dialog box, in Target select Absolute Value, and then type 1.25.

  5. In the left (low) slider field, slide until the field displays 0.8, and then slide the right (high) slider field, until the field displays 1.03.
