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 Rift).
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 board.
For detailed data, use a table. For trends, use a graph.
