Adding Filters into PerformancePoint KPI Scorecard

Assuming we have the below scorecard and filter.

Key Limitations of Using PerformancePoint Services

This is true for both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 when we are creating analytical charts, :-

i. We are limited to the type of charts that can be created in PPS

ii. We are not able to perform further customization or “touch ups” such as changing colors and adding descriptions to the axis. Everything is automatically generated and cannot be modified.

iii. Analytical charts can only be created if we use MS SQL Server Analysis Services as the data source.

iv. Details are not displayed on the chart. You have to hover over the sections. However you will not be able to see complete details at on glance.
