Metric

Showcase your KPIs with an intelligent and customizable display

Metric is a simple yet powerful way to display key performance indicators (KPIs) in your Power BI reports. Designed for clarity and customization, Metric presents your KPI in a transparent or colored box, with its series name in a matching opaque box. The result is a sleek, modern visual that enhances the readability of your data.

Unlike traditional KPI visuals, Metric allows for full control over alignment, color, transparency, and formatting. Whether you need a bold, centered number or a subtle inline metric, Metric adapts to your report’s style while ensuring your audience understands the data.

• ⚡ Flexible Alignment: Position the KPI at the top or bottom, left or right, and align the series name as needed.
