Which Power BI feature helps in visualizing performance against KPIs?

KPI visuals in Power BI are specifically designed to help users visualize and track performance against key performance indicators (KPIs). These visuals provide a quick and clear representation of critical metrics, showing how a specific value measures up against a target or goal. KPIs can represent performance over time, current statuses, and variances from expected outcomes.

The KPI visual typically displays a main value, a target value, and an indicator that shows whether the performance is on track, above, or below the desired threshold. This allows stakeholders and decision-makers to easily gauge performance at a glance, facilitating timely and informed business decisions.

While data bars, line charts, and pie charts are useful for visualizing data, they do not have the specific functionality to summarize and display performance against a set target in the way that KPI visuals do. Data bars offer a simple representation of data within tables, line charts visualize trends over time, and pie charts show proportional data rather than performance against specific benchmarks. Hence, KPI visuals are the most appropriate choice for this purpose.
