A KPI widget is not just for calculating a single metric. You can add more details to a KPI widget like 'Top salesperson', 'Region with the lowest sales', 'Percentage achieved against target' etc., using the label parameter.

When you type $ in the KPI value field in the Settings tab, the supported label parameters will be listed.

The following are the available parameters to customize the KPI widget. 

• ${Metric-Column-Name}.VALUE 
  
• ${Metric-Column-Name}.LABEL
  
• ${OPERATION} 
  
• ‌${Grouping-Column-Name}.LABEL
  
• ${PERCENTAGE} 
  
• ${MAXVALUE} 
  

${Metric-Column-Name}.VALUE 

This is the default parameter applied to a widget. This displays the value derived from the CALCULATION applied over the column.‌

Example:

The below widget calculates the sum of sales. This parameter will display the total sales value.

${Metric-Column-Name}.LABEL 

This displays the metric column name along with the CALCULATION applied over the column. 

Example:

The below widget calculates the average of the column Sales. This parameter will display the column name along with the operation applied i.e., Avg Sales as the Label.  

${OPERATION}

This displays the advanced summary function applied in Show Value As field.

Example:

This parameter will display the advanced summary function applied i.e., % of Difference From as the label.  

${Grouping-Column-Name}.LABEL 

This displays the name of the column that groups the data or the value in the column that meets the CALCULATION applied over the column.
