Number Card

A Number Card displays a measure as a prominent value in a compact dashboard tile. It can also display a separate card for each series value, along with supporting tooltips, images, and a sparkline trend.

Use a Number Card when:

  • You need to highlight an important value, such as total revenue, order count, or current inventory.
  • You want to display the same measure for multiple categories, such as products or regions.
  • A sparkline can provide useful historical context for the displayed value.
