Ron George originally designed power BI in the summer of 2010, and the initial release was available for public download on 11 July 2011. It can also build interactive dashboards with just a few clicks. Tableau has the feature of drag-n-drop, which allows its users to create interactive visuals quickly. Until then you can use the above workaround to show KPIs in Table, Matrix, Multi-card and Card visualisations.Power BI has an easy drag and drops functionality, with features that allow you to copy all formatting across similar visualizations. I hope Power BI development team add this feature to Power BI soon. If you publish the model to Power BI service the reports shows the KPIs. You’ll also see a “Sales vs Product Costs” KPIĪs I mentioned before you can use KPIs in Matrix, Table, Card and Multi-card visualisations.Expand “FactResellerSales” then click “Reseller Sales” and “Total Product Costs” measures.Expand “DimProductSubCategory” and click “EnglishProductSubCategoryName”.Expand “DimProductCategory” and click “EnglishProductCategoryName”.In Power BI Desktop put a Matrix visual on the page.After you successfully imported the data model from Excel click Close.Select “Excel workbook Contents” from “Import” menu and import the Excel file you saved earlier.Now it is time switch to Power BI and import the Power Pivot model. So far we created some measures and an KPI in Power Pivot. After creating the KPI, a KPI icon adds to the “Sales vs Product Costs” calculated measure.If product cost is more than 80% of sales amount then the sales status is not good and it shows red. If product cost is between 65% and 80% of sales amount then the sales status needs some attention and the status shows yellow. If product cost is 65% or less than sales amount then the status is green which means everything is under control. Note: The above KPI shows our sales status vs. Click “Absolute value” then define status threshold as below.Create KPIs on top of “Sales vs Product Costs” by right clicking on the measure then clicking “Create KPI”.Change the formatting of the first two measures to currency ($) and select percentage (%) for the third one.Create some simple calculated measures in FactResellerSales like below:.

After the data successfully imported click Close.Select “FactResellerSales”, “DimProduct”, “DimProductCategory” and “DimProductSubCategory” then click Finish.

Enter server name and database name then click Next.

Note: In case you’re using prior versions of Excel you need to click “Manage” from Power Pivot tab.

From Data tab click “Manage Data Model”.

All steps below are pretty much the same.

In this post I’m not loading data using Power Query, so you can ignore Power Query if you want to follow this article to make your first sample KPI work. Check this out to find out more about BI features in Excel 2016.). It’s added to Excel 2016 as a built-in feature.

#POWER BI MATRIX TABULAR FORMAT PLUS#

Power Query add-on if you need to transform your data (Power Query is available only in Excel 2010 Professional Plus and Excel 2013.Power Pivot add-on if using Excel 2007 to 2013 (Power Pivot is already available in Excel 2016).I use the word “IMPORT” as this feature is NOT available in Power BI Desktop yet so we CANNOT create KPIs directly in Power BI Desktop, but, there is work around for it that I explain it in this post. In this post I show you a very simple way to import KPIs and use them in Table, Matrix, Multi-row card and Card visualisations in Power BI. Unfortunately, this feature is missing from Power BI. You can create KPIs in SSAS Tabular as well. One of the coolest features in Power Pivot is the ability to define KPIs based on calculated measures.
