Let’s get started-

Download Sample dataset- Global_superstore_2016.xls

Follow these steps to create a Multi KPI:

Step-1: Import Orders dataset from Global superstore file.

Step-2: To import visual from app source you have to Logged-In first in Power BI desktop.

Now understand KPI Percentage logic for Multi KPI visual

By default KPI will displays the values of max(or last) order date & percentage of min(or first) order date.

Here max order date is 31/12/2015 & min date is 01/01/2012.

First order date is 01/01/2012 and Sales is 808.56 & Last order sales is 13258

=(13258 - 808.56) * 100 / 808.56
= 1539.70%
