- New Viz Extension: KPI Card
Finally!
After multiple presentations and fine-tuning, our new extension, KPI Card, is ready!
Our very first product on our store was BANg (Big Aggregated Number generator). While this new extension will not replace it, it offers an even more straightforward way to quickly build a KPI Card without leaving Tableau.
Two simple drag-and-drop, and you get the best-looking KPI Card
The main advantage of the KPI Card is that you don’t need any calculations. The extensions handle everything. From the Format Extension menu, you can select between the previous period and the same period of the prior year.
You can finally forget about all the annoying calculations to get the positive and negative values to show in different colors!
We also added the possibility to compare directly with a target, and, since we are using Viz Extensions, you can now visualize the evolution using a gradient area chart and rounded bars, all of which are fully functional with tooltips.
As always, you’ll find many options to configure and format the extension:
Change all colors (kpi name, chart, positive values, negative values)
Select chart type (bar, line, or area)
Add a target for comparison
Change the labels and axis style
This extension is not yet available on the Tableau Exchange, but you can get the .trex file directly from our website.
If you have the Viz Extension pack, this new Extension is included with your license at no additional cost!
Like all our Viz Extensions, you can also use it for free (the Format Extension changes are not saved).
Give it a try and let us know what you’d like us to improve!
That is it for today!
Thank you, and stay tuned for next week's update!
