the Goal Expression. However, it can be any MDX expression that is meaningful
for this KPI. This expression is typically a number between 1 (goal has been
met) and -1 (value is below the goal).

A Trend Expression is typically used to represent the current trending over
time of the Value Expression compared with the Goal Expression. However, it
can be any MDX expression that is meaningful for this KPI. This expression
is typically a number between 1 (increasing or getting better) and -1 (decreasing
or getting worse).

Creating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
IT Analytics Solution lets you create KPIs by manually defining them in the console
navigation under the Settings folder. You can also directly create KPIs through
the pivot tables.
This procedure is an example of creating KPIs for computers with critical patch
vulnerability defined through the cube. The example highlights how this procedure
automatically populates some of the MDX code that is needed to define the KPI.
