Simple Yet Powerful: The Magic of Power BI Card Visualization
In Power BI, a card visualization is a single numeric value displayed in a small, graphical format. Card visualizations are commonly used to display summary data such as totals, averages, or counts. They can be used to display a single value or a series of values, and can be combined with other visualizations to create more complex dashboards and reports.
A Power BI Card Visualization is a simple, single-value visualization that is used to display a single data point or metric. It is often used to display key performance indicators (KPIs) or other summary information in a dashboard or report.
A Card Visualization typically consists of a single value, which can be a number, text, or a percentage, and a label that describes the data being displayed. The value is often displayed in large font, with the label in smaller font beneath it.
The Card Visualization in Power BI can be customized to change the font size, color, and formatting of the value and label. You can also add background color to the visualization to make it stand out more.
The Card Visualization in Power BI can be used in combination with other visuals like a table, chart, and map, to create a compelling and interactive dashboard. It can mainly be used in conjunction with other Power BI features like filters and slicers, to allow users to drill down into the data and explore it more deeply.
To create a card visualization in Power BI, you can follow these steps:
- Select the “Card” visualization from the Visualizations pane on the right side of the window.
- Drag and drop the field containing the numeric value you want to display onto the “Values” field in the Visualizations pane.
- Optionally, you can customize the appearance and behavior of the card visualization using the options in the Format pane. For example, you can change the font, color, and size of the value, or add a title or footer to the card.
- To display multiple values in the same card visualization, you can drag and drop additional fields onto the “Values” field. Power BI will create a separate card for each value.
Keep in mind that the specific steps and options for creating a card visualization may vary depending on the version of Power BI you are using. You can find more information about working with card visualizations in the Power BI documentation.
