This guide walks you through the various options available when creating number widgets from your spreadsheet data.
Select data for your number widget
Select at least one numeric column or a specific cell from your connected spreadsheet. Then you'll be taken to the configuration page where you can make further adjustments if needed.
Configure your number widget
Add status indicators
Adding success and/or negative values to your number widgets allows you to draw attention to changes as they happen.
Add comparison visualization
The number widget allows you to compare the primary metric visually using four comparison visualizations: goal, number, percentage, and sparkline.
Click the Comparison visualization panel to display the options. Your spreadsheet canvas will automatically appear for you to select your comparison range.
Goal
Displays a goal progress bar below the primary metric.
Enter your goal target value and, optionally, your starting value to define where your goal progress starts from.
Number
Displays the number change from your initial selected cell. Click the up or down arrows to indicate whether an increased or deceased change is good.
Percentage
Displays the percentage change from your initially selected cell. Click the up or down arrows to indicate whether an increased or decreased percentage change is good.
Sparkline
Displays a small line chart of the values in the selected range (top to bottom or left to right). The more cells in your selected range, the more detailed your sparkline will be.
Formatting
The Formatting menu allows you to overrule the automatically set number of decimal places used or add additional information about the values on your widget. For more information, see our guide to using the data formatting options.
Add dynamic selection
The Dynamic selection menu enables you to expand your initial single-cell selection to a whole column or row. Your number widget will always display the last numeric value added to the column or row.
