KPI Browser (KPIs Tab, Cube Designer) (SSAS)

Use the KPI Browser pane on the KPIs tab in Cube Designer to view and test the results of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPIs must first be deployed to a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) instance before browsing.

Note

This pane is displayed only in browser view.

Options

  • Subcube grid
    Use to define a subcube and restrict the results of the KPIs to be displayed in the Results pane. The grid contains the following columns:

    • Dimension
      Select the dimension to which this filter applies.
    • Hierarchy
      Select the hierarchy to which this filter applies.
    • Operator
      Select the operator that defines how the expression in Filter Expression is applied to the selected hierarchy. The following table describes the available operators.

      Value Description

      Equal

      The results are restricted to the set defined in Filter Expression.

      Not Equal

      The results are restricted to the members excluded by the set defined in Filter Expression.

      In

      The results are restricted to the named set chosen in Filter Expression.

      Not In

      The results are restricted to the members excluded by the named set chosen in Filter Expression.

      Contains

      The results are restricted to members whose member names contain the string in Filter Expression.

      Begins With

      The results are restricted to members whose member names begin with the string in Filter Expression.

      Range (Inclusive)

      The results are restricted to the range chosen in Filter Expression.

      Range (Exclusive)

      The results are restricted to the members excluded by the range chosen in Filter Expression.

      MDX

      The results are restricted to the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression set in Filter Expression.

    • Filter Expression
      Type the expression that is to be evaluated by Operator, which restricts the KPI results to be browsed.

      Note

      This field is a dynamic data entry element, changing appearance to reflect the types of data necessary for the selected operator.

  • Results grid
    Displays the evaluated value, goal, status, and trend for the KPIs, based on the filter defined in Filter grid. The grid contains the following columns:

    • Display Structure
      Displays the KPIs contained by the cube, hierarchically organized according to the Display folder or Parent KPI values for each KPI.
    • Value
      Displays the value of the KPI.
    • Goal
      Displays the goal value of the KPI.
    • Status
      Displays the status graphic of the KPI.
    • Trend
      Displays the trend graphic of the KPI.
    • Weight
      Displays the weight factor of the KPI.
    • (Description)
      Displays an information icon if a description is provided for a KPI.

      Hover the mouse over the information icon to display a ToolTip containing the description for the KPI.

      Note

      If an error occurs while calculating a KPI on the Analysis Services instance, this option displays information associated with the error.
