I am trying to add new fields and a new view to the a SharePoint KPI List. The KPI List displays two views:

  • All Items
  • KPI List

I am not able to add or remove any fields that are displayed in these two views by default. When trying to create a new view it displays the four columns Indicator, Goal, Value, Status irrespective of what columns are set to be displayed by configuring the view.

While trying to add fields, a view and items with those fields set using code, it shows this message in a red color:

An error occured while retrieving data.

Is this behavior by design?

Is there any way to modify this behavior?

  • Having the same problem - really annoying this doesn't work. Anyone figure out a workaround? – Graeme Apr 19 '10 at 17:07

Looks like KPIs have a lot of bugs and limitations

  • When you first create a KPI, it often doesn't pull the correct column list from the chosen view; inventing a fake KPI expression, saving it, and then editing it again will get it to update the column list. (Obviously a bug.)

  • You can add new columns to a KPI list, but it won't display them or let you edit them. (Perhaps just incomplete implementation.)

  • You can add filters to a view on a KPI list, but they are entirely ignored. (Obviously a bug.)
