# Getting started with the VizExtension

To quickly get started with PowerKPIs, download the free PowerKPIs viz extension from the Tableau Extension Gallery or your local viz extension .trex file.

Then follow these steps:

**For Grid Layouts**

2. Add a **Date** field to **Date**
3. Add a KPI dimension (e.g. *Segment*) to **Cards**
4. *(Optional)* Add a **Scenario** field to **Scenario**
5. Click ⚙️ and configure your PowerKPIs
6. Have fun!

***

**For Tree Layouts**

1. Add your measures to **Measure**
2. Add a **Date** field to **Date**
3. For recursive data (parent-child), add a KPI and Parent KPI field to **Cards**
4. For categorical data, add hierarchy fields to **Cards** and define the hierarchy in the extension
5. Click ⚙️ and configure your PowerKPIs
6. Have fun!

Congratulations on your first PowerKPIs project 🎉!

Optionally add more measures to the Measure Values shelf or a dimension to break down a measure dimensionally.
