select the desired DAX measure. Play a bit with the title and value
settings. Conditional format and dynamic labels are possible.

The reference detail makes it possible to add direction to the


information. It can show you how the KPI is performing against the
target reference. If the DAX Measure is built as a string, you can
play with icons. Color is based on conditions.

The progress Bar is a custom created DAX Measure. It shows how


well the KPI behaves in relation to the target. The vertical pipe is
used to indicate the reference metric. Is the KPI performing much
better, then the dot after the pipe will be filled.

Menu: Visual settings -> Reference labels -> Select series

Don’t forget. It’s just a DAX Measure acting as a reference!

• Focus on visuals
• Trigger the creative brain instead of the logic brain. It
works much faster.
• Less is more!
• Don’t overload the creative brain too much otherwise the
message will not be received.
• Data without context is no information. And information without
direction is no insight!
• Visuals are there for a reason, not just for showing
something.
