MOSS 2007 has the capability of creating KPI lists however you need the Enterprise version in order to use this functionality. 

Earlier this month, Christophe Humbert led a live online workshop on how to create miniature inline charts and graphs with Sparklines and jQuery.

This is yet another blog post on comparing dates in XSL in a data view web part.

Although implementing a KPI dashboard like this one might look complicated it is not. By using the Data View Web Part you can create your own dashboards plus extras. The solution does not do anything special (only displays colorful icons) but your managers will love it.

With Mark Miller as the host, Laura Rogers will demonstrate just how flexible and useful the Out-of-the-Box Web Parts are in MOSS. She will take a detailed look at the Filter, KPI, Excel Web Access, Outlook Web Access, Business Data Catalog, and Data View Web Parts. She will then look at how to customize some of these web parts using SharePoint Designer while still adhering to the Industry Best Practices. All of this is done without using any code. This session in itself is a best practice, because it is best to learn what SharePoint can do out-of-the-box, before writing any code.

Laura Rogers continues her live online series today at 1:00pm. Here’s a brief description and a short screencast to give you a taste.

There are so many things as an end user you can do with Excel Services however it can be hard to get started. There are not a lot of resources out there for end users to begin using Excel Services, so I aim to fix that. Over the next few months, I will be writing a blog series on how to best utilize Excel Services. This first post will cover the basics, what is it and what you need to do to get started. After that we will move on to more complex stuff like parameters, promoting pivot tables, connecting filters to your charts and tables.

Periodically I look at the forums on SharePointU.com and try to help out where I can. Last week there was a request for info on how to use KPIs.
