The video tutorial guides viewers on creating custom KPIs using DAX in Power BI. It covers defining variables, setting thresholds, and using the Unichar function for visual icons. The tutorial explains implementing the switch function to evaluate sales data and demonstrates how to visualize and format KPIs. The video concludes with encouragement to explore additional icons for KPI customization.

What is the first step in creating a custom KPI?

• Setting up a data source

• Creating a new measure in the measure table

• Importing a pre-made KPI visual

• Defining a threshold value

What is the purpose of using Unicode characters in KPI creation?

• To calculate total sales

• To import data from external sources

• To create visual indicators like arrows

• To define the threshold value

Which function is used to evaluate conditions and return results in the KPI?

• Switch function

• Average function

• If function

• Sum function

What is the role of the switch function in the KPI formula?

• To import data from external sources

• To format the total sales value

• To define the threshold value

• To evaluate conditions and return specific results

How can you adjust the appearance of the KPI visual?

• By changing the data source

• By modifying the format function

• By adjusting the slicer settings

• By using different Unicode characters

What does the format function do in the context of KPI creation?

• Imports data from a different table

• Calculates the total sales

• Converts a value to text in a specific number format

• Defines the threshold value

What is the significance of setting a threshold value in KPI creation?

• It formats the total sales value

• It sets the condition for evaluating sales performance

• It defines the visual indicators

• It determines the data source
