This will open the Performance Measures menu, where you can either select from the three options to go straight to that metric, or select View KS5 PM to go to the overview page. If you are a KS4 subscriber, you can also access your KS4 Performance Measures here, please see this article for further details: 

Once in the overview page, you'll see two graphs, one for Average Grade/Point Score and one for Grade Distribution. Below the graphs, the tables will show the Summary Profile for all A Levels, Grade Distribution Profile, and students Achieving AAB in two Facilitating Subjects:
