# Create KPI based on Measure

Last modified July 21, 2026

> Learn to combine different measures to calculate custom metrics like average price.

In this example, we create a KPI based on measures. This time, we will create a KPI that divides a *Line Amount* measure by a *Quantity* measure.

1. In the **Report Designer** menu, click **KPIs** and then click **Manage KPIs**.

2\. In the **KPI** dialog, click the **Financial KPIs** group that you created in the previous example.

3\. Click **Change**.

4\. Click the **Add** button to add a new KPI.

5\. In the **Name** field, enter a name. In this example, we have named the KPI *Average amount*.

6\. Select the **Based on Measure** option.

7\. Click the **Edit** button.

8\. In the **KPI Editor**, take the following steps:

a\. Open the **Sales** module, and the **Receivable Invoice Lines** folder.

b\. Drag the **Line Amount** measure into the **Formula** area.

c\. Click the **Divide by** button (/).

d\. Drag the **Quantity** measure into the **Formula** area.

e\. Click **OK**.

9\. In the **KPI** dialog box, click **OK**.

10\. In the **KPI group** dialog, click **Close**.

The KPI is now created and ready to use in reports.
