Lookup values in KPI objects

Suppose you have a crosstab like this, with an Average calculation as the last row:

If you try to convert this crosstab to a KPI object, you will initially just be seeing the first value of the crosstab:

Even if you try to use the 'Visibility' options to hide all the No of Sales measure values, you will end up like this:

So, the solution lies with using 'Lookup values'. To work with Lookup values, you will need to 'Open advanced text editor'. Here we do this for Values in the KPI dialog:

And then you add a 'New lookup for...':

From the 'Lookup values' tab of the KPI dialog, you can now turn the value into a 'Fixed row'. The selection of '-1' means the first row from the bottom of the table.

  • In this case you can also reach your goal witout the lookup values. Delete the (v) in your default average calculation and disable the dimension values in "Visibility" options.
