What is KPI in Tableau.?

We can easily create a view that shows Key Progress Indicators (KPIs). To do this, you complete the following tasks:

• Create the base view with the fields you want to measure.
• Build a calculated field that establishes the figure from which you measure progress for the data you’re measuring.
• Use shapes that Tableau provides that are designed specifically for KPIs.

This example shows how to build a KPI view that shows a green check mark for any sales figure over $125,000, and a red X for any sales figure under $125,000.

Preparing data for Tableau.

1. Cleanup dimensions and measure names.
2. Set attribute aliases.
3. Set default colors
4. Set default measure aggregations.
5. Create calculated fields.
