For example, the Target for Sales Amount could be the Budget Amount. When displayed in the user interface, it is used to define a reference value compared to the value of the KPI. The Target is just another measure that can be compared with the result of the expression assigned to the KPI measure. Therefore, we use Goal for the user interface, whereas we use Target to describe the corresponding properties in the Tabular model.
