This is one of the most basic visuals and for some reason I just never understood exactly what data types need to go into each field. Thanks a lot for this video, it's nowhere near as complex as I imagined it.

[Dolba]

Your explanation is really clear an useful, many tutorials are not clear at this point and when you are not much into this might be quite confusing.

[CamaronDios]

Nicely explained and easy to understand. I think this is a very interesting visual. Thank you very much Reza!

[giggles]

What if you have different values (because the value of the KPI multiplier was increased in 2019 vs 2018) for the same KPI

[rozuerd]

If the monthly trend shows all months, why isn't the KPI value show the sum of all the months (YTD or Full Year) ? I would rather see the KPI value of total year but with the monthly trend graph as background

Thanks dear Reza, would you please also mention how to read targets of different months and years from a table and use them as goal?

[generalPWNS]

Visual is nice as long as the dataset has target values.

thanks but missed to explain how to use fx (conditional formatting with the card), no link on the description below either.

Hi I have created measure and comparing current quarter with previous quarter. However in KPI card % shows incorrect. How do I able to fix that.
Thanks

[w.hernandez]

Excellent and detailed explanation of KPI in PowerBi.

[walterstevens]

Not bad, but I always expect to see the target or KPI values together with the trend line of actual values, so to show a red or green area chart and some text displaying % of target isn't great. I'm sure there's a way to do it.

You are excellent Rada. I like to ask you how do you draw circles or rectangles with a mouse. Can you pls help me. I need the same one

[NoCompM]

This color coding setting in the KPI visual has completely disappeared as an available option. Is anyone else seeing this?

[geoguy]

But how do I show just grand totals instead of breaking down to years?
