How to use SSAS MD KPIs

‎02-10-2016 04:28 PM

Hello,

 

Wondering if KPIs for SSAS MD are supported in PowerBI, if yes then can someone give an example on how to use it?

 

Thanks,

KPI's from SSAS MD are supported and work well. 

 

Just create your KPI in your MDX cube and deploy.  Connect to the cube as Live and you will see the KPI (goal and status) in the field list.  These can be dragged onto your visuals.  There are some really nice custom visuals that are great for shoing KPIs.

Hello Jolly,

 

Yes I noticed Goal and Status fields, can you recommend any custom visual that you used?

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. May be I'm missing something here. I tested Adventureworks cube and was not able to use KPIs available in the cube.
