Hello @Anonymous,

 

A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a visual cue that communicates the amount of progress made toward a measurable goal. For more about KPIs, see Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in PowerPivot.

 

KPIs are a great choice:

  • To measure progress. Answers the question, "What am I ahead or behind on?"

  • To measure distance to a goal. Answers the question, "How far ahead or behind am I?"
