I have the following usecase. We have a workspace for one of our companies. There I have different reports for different kind of people. These Reports are also organized in the way, that each report provides the relevant KPI's for each the team.

 

To track the daily KPI's we use Power BI Metrics/Scorecards and connect them directly to the reports (Budget and Actual). Our Metrics are organized in a way that it contains a main metric which is basically the name of the process and its submetrics:

 

  1. Coordinate IT
  2. opened/closed tickets per month [# tickets]
  3. Count of open tickets [# tickets]
  4. Average lead time [h]
  5. Average processing time [h]
  6. Produce orders
  7. Production Volume over Time [m³] 
  8. m³ per working hour per production employee [m³]
  9. Average production employees per month [number]

 

Lets assume it is the 10th of August: 10 Days after the month end (the month end is defined as the last day of the previous month) the process owner goes through the scorecard with its team and checks if all submetrics are green/yellow/red.

The main problem here is the following: If a user is looking at the 10th of august at the scorecard , the Metrics shows the data from the 9th of August. In order to review the the last month the user has to click on each submetric and has to check how the number was at the 1st of August ( as at the 1stof August the data from the 31st are shwon in the dataset/report). This is very time consuming as we have at least 10 Metrics with at least 4 to 5 submetrics each.

 

Idea:

Add a date slicer to the Metrics dashboard to jump back to a specific date. This reduces the time drastically consumed by looking each submetric separately.
