14. Visuals and Their Formatting
14.14 Card, Card (new) and Multi-row Card
| Visual | Use for | Field wells |
|---|---|---|
| Card | One big KPI number | Fields |
| Card (new) | One or several KPIs in one visual, with reference labels and images | Data (one or more measures) and options depending on version |
| Multi-row card | Several values listed per category (e.g. per city) | Fields |
Examples: Card = Total Sales (₹). Card (new) = Total Orders, AOV, Avg Delivery Time and Cancellation Rate side by side, with a reference label "vs last month" under each. Multi-row card = City, Total Orders, AOV.
Key formatting: Callout value (font, size, colour, Display units Auto/Thousands/Millions, decimal places), Category label (on/off, text), for Card (new): Layout (arrangement, cards per row), Callout values, Reference labels (title, value, detail), Cards (background, border, accent bar), Image. Every colour has an fx button for conditional formatting (Module 20).
Card label trick
Turn off the Category label and use the General › Title instead, with fx for a dynamic title (Module 20.2).
Ravindra Bagale's Tip
A common mistake with cards is showing a number without context, for example "₹ 4.2L" with no period or comparison. Add a clear label, the period in the title, and if possible a comparison (vs last month). Check that the display units (thousands, lakhs, millions) are consistent across cards. It's very simple – just make it a habit.

Card मधली एक common चूक म्हणजे context शिवाय number दाखवणं, उदाहरणार्थ period किंवा तुलना नसलेलं "₹ 4.2L". स्पष्ट label, title मध्ये period, आणि शक्य असेल तर तुलना (vs last month) जोडा. सगळ्या cards वर display units (thousands, lakhs, millions) सारखे आहेत ना हे तपासा. एकदम simple आहे, फक्त सवय लावून घ्या.

Card की एक common गलती है बिना context के number दिखाना, जैसे बिना period या तुलना के "₹ 4.2L". साफ़ label, title में period, और हो सके तो तुलना (vs last month) जोड़ो. Check करो कि सभी cards पर display units (thousands, lakhs, millions) एक जैसे हों. बहुत आसान है, बस आदत बना लो.
