KPI Lists are created to indicate the Goal Vs Actual status of critical Business parameters, multiple KPI's can be added to a single KPI List so that the status of all the critical parameters are captured in a single list.

In this post we shall see on how to create a KPI List based on the data in a Published Excel Sheet


First Create an Excel Workbook with the data which you want to represent in the KPI, I have created the following sheet.






















Upload the Workbook to a SharePoint Document Library so that we can refer to the sheet from the KPI List.
