Sparkline

Sparklines can be used in cards to visualize the variation of actual (or target) values over time.

Data Binding Specifics

 

To display a sparkline within a card, provide a date-time dimension whose data will be used to visualize values over time.

NoteNote

To learn how to provide actual (or target) values for a card, see the Providing Data topic.

Note that if you have provided both actual and target values, a sparkline visualizes the actual value's variation over time.
