The Statistics display type shows one or more headline numbers, perfect for KPIs, totals, and summary metrics.

Configuration

Each statistics card contains one or more items. Each item is configured with:
SettingDescription
ColumnThe dataset column to aggregate.
OperationThe aggregation function, Sum, Average, Count, Median, Min, Max, etc. (the same operations available in transformations).
LabelAn optional custom label. If omitted, the column name and operation are used.
FormatDisplay as long (e.g. 1,234,567) or short (e.g. 1.2M).

Period-over-period deltas

Each stat item can show a delta: the change compared to a previous period. Delta options:
ModeWhat it shows
AbsoluteThe raw difference (e.g. +500).
PercentageThe percentage change (e.g. +12%).
BothAbsolute and percentage together (e.g. +500 (+12%)).
Previous valueThe value from the previous period (e.g. was 4,167).
You can invert colors so that a decrease shows as green and an increase as red, useful for metrics where lower is better (e.g. churn rate, error count).

Card size

Statistics cards support three sizes:
SizeUse case
SmallCompact, fits more cards in a row.
MediumDefault size.
LargeProminent, good for hero metrics.

When to use statistics

Use statistics when you want to:
  • Highlight a single important number (revenue, users, conversion rate).
  • Show how a metric changed over time with deltas.
  • Build a row of KPI cards at the top of a dashboard.
For detailed data, use a table. For trends, use a graph.
