Quick summary
The Card visual in Power BI lets you display a single key metric — like the total number of records — prominently on any report page. This method uses the built-in Visualizations pane and requires no custom DAX measures to get started.
Steps
- Open Power BI Desktop and navigate to your desired report.
- Go to the Visualizations pane on the right side of the screen.
- Select your visual on the report canvas to set the context for your data.
- From the Visualizations pane, click the Card visual to add it to your report.
- Use the Card visual to display a single big number, such as the total number of records, for quick at-a-glance reporting.
