# Getting started with the Dashboard Extension

If you are using the PowerKPIs dashboard extension, you need to create a source sheet first. 

**For Grid Layouts**

1. Create a worksheet with the data you want to use in PowerKPIs
2. Add your measures to **Details**
3. Add a **Date** field to **Details**
4. *(Optional)* Add a KPI dimension (e.g. *Segment*) to **Details**
5. Add the worksheet to your dashboard
6. Reload the extension using the reload button in the extension menu
7. Click ⚙️ and configure your PowerKPIs
8. Have fun!

**For Tree Layouts**

1. Create a worksheet with the data you want to use in PowerKPIs
2. Add your measures to **Details**
3. Add a **Date** field to **Details**
4. For recursive data (parent-child), add a KPI and Parent KPI field to **Details**
5. For hierarchical data, add the hierarchy fields to **Details** in the correct order
6. Add the worksheet to your dashboard
7. Reload the extension using the reload button in the extension menu
8. Click ⚙️ and configure your PowerKPIs
9. Have fun!

Make sure to add only that **level of detail** to the source sheet, that is also needed for your KPI cards.
