There are three different types of KPI Report available in Yellowfin:
|*Spot*|Basic KPI Report that allows you to set up a KPI without displaying any additional information, other than the value itself.|
|*Categorical*|KPI Report that splits what's displayed on the tab into categories when viewed as a report. This allows you to display break up the value into categories for further examination.|
|*Time*|KPI Report that allows you to show a trend according to time series data, rather than real-time trends. It also allows you to show more detail in the report (like a Categorical KPI).|

You will need to create at least one of these before attempting this tutorial. 

bq. See [KPI Report Tutorial|KPI ReportsKPIレポート] for more information.
