Hello,
I have a question. I am using a KPI card to display some information. I have a "Actual Sales" which is my indicator, the trend axis is "State" and "Target Sales" is my target goal. (I also have it built as a ratio)
At the aggregate level my data looks wrong. It is summary sales, so I do not have date as a dimension. This is what I expected to see.
My expectation is to see the total, but I have no idea where the KPI numbers are coming from. Once I use a splicer to drill down to the state, the KPI functions properly.
I should be getting 1.17M and 0.34 but the KPI is giving me 1969 and 0.15. Where are these numbers coming from.
My goal should be 1.98M but the KPI is giving me 5790.
Is there someway to fix this or switch out a card? My though was to show the chart with the page is unfiltered by state. and when a state is selected, switch it to the KPI card. So it would look like this.
Is there a way to show or hide cards based on a condition, parameter or function?
Is it possible?
What would that look like and how can it be accomplished?
Or is there a way to fix the KPI configuration so that it shows indicators of 1.19M and 0.34 with targets of 1.98M and 1.7?
I know it has something to do with the State measure but can't figure it out? Can you add an "All" to the state dimension?

Hi @Anonymous ,
The KPI chart shows the number of the last axis value.
For example, your axis(state) have too many values, AXXX, BXXX,..... ZXXX.
Then when you put it to the KPI axis, the KPI value will show the sum of sales which state = ZXXX.
Hope I have clarified it.
I think you can try to use a custom visual for your request, or you can use two Cards to show actually and target(normally I will use this method).
Please try.
