Number with evolution chart

4:00 min
Intro

Dashboards contain the main KPIs an organization needs to track. These are important numbers for which it could be desired to see the evolution compared to the previous time period.

That’s where the Number with evolution chart comes into play, to get a status update in a glimpse.

How to create the Number with evolution chart

The Number with evolution chart can be found underneath the General section, click on it or simply drag & drop into the canvas.

Measure slot

Add your desired column to the Measure slot.

By default, the sum of the values in that specific column will be displayed. You can easily change the aggregation to e.g. average via the slot menu settings. Here, you can also adapt the number format.


Evolution slot

Add a level from a date(time) column to the evolution slot to get insights in the evolution of your KPI in the last available time period compared to the time-period before that; make sure to choose the appropriate date-level based on your desired period you’d like to compare, e.g. the last available month compared to month before.

Three components of the number chart upon using this slot:

  • Main number - aggregated value for this time period e.g. this month

  • Percentage - evolution of value from this time period compared to the previous time period e.g. evolution this month compared to previous month. This utilizes the following calculation: (aggregated_value_last_period - aggregated_value_current_period) / aggregated_value_last_period

  • Evolution graph - visualizes the evolution of the aggregated values in a line or area chart


Tips and tricks
