Happy little accidents with the Power BI Card Visual

Ready to take the Power BI card visual to the next level? Adam tinkers to get it to look just right. It's a lot of customization but the outcome is way better than the starting point.

Create a (new) card visualization in Power BI Desktop (preview)

This formatting is excellent. Thank you for sharing!

I love using the new card visual most of the time. I just spent a couple of hours trying to set up a dashboard that had new card visuals pinned to it. I wanted to set up alerts for the cards but the alerts aren’t available for the new cards. I had to change all of the new cards back to original cards them republish to be able to see the option to set up alerts.

I also wonder how you did the nice arrow for the % Change. Is it part of the formating or how did you do it? I dont find any similar ASCII arrow...?

[Tom-kplv]

Love it - need support for custom fonts!

[Schnappy]

Thanks for the tutorial. I usually create something similiar by grouping a lot of custom shapes, texts and cards (with measures), but this seems much more straightforward. Gonna give it a try.

[skrapsaker]

Thank you for this!!! A question though, shouldnt the % change be on the upper side? Just me who think so?😮

[Grstuff]

love your off topic a bit, I have a question regarding the forecasting model. In previous version PB displayed the Forecast, Upper bound and Lower bound totals when "show as table". Those totals are not displaying with the latest version. Is this a bug?

[AbhishekAgarrwal]

Yeah...recently used it to create a financial dashboard and capabities are amazing.

Love the new updates in BI, they are not the bestest ever but God did the visuals needed more POWER

[robenanderson]

Love the new card visual. Only things are is that it takes a while to set up and get how you want, and if you have an error in a measure that you're using, which can be many depending what features of the visual you use, it makes it so the whole visual won't render. I'd love to see it not render the one card so you know what to look at to fix instead of looking at all measures.

There is no vidoes about forcasting using dax in this is very helpful feature now a days...every company wants to forcaste there data or sales value.

I tried it out recently. It was buggy un many ways, e.g. while trying to use several measures at a time in a grid. Also, if I remember well, it was not possible to use several times the same measure. Like many of the new products/services/features MS has published over the past several months, it looked to me un-finished...

When I used Detail section for values a while ago, it worked fine on Desktop. But detail labels were not appearing on service. Did u tr publishing and checking on Service? Have they fixed the issue?

Hey Adam, very cool stuff for this "new" card visual, but man that's a lot of work to get it to look nice. What do you recommend to make some kind of template to re-use cards that are pre-formatted? Simply save some cards in a .pbix with no real data attached, then copy and paste to your production .pbix file?

[davidcurtin]

How did you get the up arrow on % change ?

[ZhaoYibo-om]

I don't see the gear icon that you have on your screen next to data pane, the whole vertical ribbon is not visible in my PBI desktop. Can someone help me with this? Thanks a lot!

[christophehervouet]

I saw that visual ages ago but I did NOT see potential in it by then. After this video I will give it a chance
