Metric Expression for Single Value Card

This guide is essential to enhance dashboards by leveraging Metric Expressions for single-value cards.

Metric Expressions allow you to perform calculations using single-value card metrics by referencing their values with their Metric IDs.

Example:

We have two single value cards:

• Sales with Metric ID {{Sales_hwPED}}, valued at $2.89B

• Profit with Metric ID {{Profi_qjvSWB}}, valued at $2.84B

To calculate the Sales Profitability Ratio, we can use a Metric Expression:

• ROUND({{Sales_hwPEDw}}/{{Profi_qjvSWB}},2)

Output: A single-value card displaying 1.02

• Alternatively using,

{{Sales_hwPEDw}}"/"{{Profi_qjvSWB}}

Output: A single-value card displaying

2891075848.0202847 /

2840122818.152845
