  Hello,

  I'm always get Bad Request (400) when I try to create a KPI.

  I tried to post a request using the following URLs:

  http://mah-lt/Reports2017/api/v2.0/catalogitems

  or

  http://mah-lt/Reports2017/api/v2.0/api

  BODY:

  {
      "Name": "New KPI 2",
      "Description": "",
      "Path": "/KPIs/New KPI 2",
      "Hidden": false,
      "@odata.type": "#Model.Kpi",
      "Values": {
          "@odata.type": "#Model.KpiValues",
          "Value": "836217"
      },
      "Data": {
          "Goal": null,
          "Status": null,
          "Value": {
              "Type": "0",
              "@odata.type": "#Model.KpiStaticDataItem",
              "Value": "836217"
          },
          "TrendSet": null
      },
      "Currency": null,
      "ValueFormat": "General",
      "Visualization": "Bar",
      "DrillthroughTarget": null
  }

  This isn't a web support forum.   It's a SQL Server forum.   Not everyone here will know much about html and/or web configurations and settings.  While you know what "post a request" means, many here will not.   You'll be far better off using stackoverflow.com for this kind of question.
