What is a card visual used for?

< 1 min read

A card visual is used to display a single value or metric clearly.
It highlights important numbers like total sales, active customers, or profit margin.
In one project, I used a card to show total monthly revenue on the dashboard.
Cards are best for KPIs where quick glance is enough.
They are not meant for comparisons or detailed analysis.
You can combine cards with trend indicators or conditional formatting for emphasis.
They help stakeholders focus on key metrics immediately.
