Codex KPI Sparkline Card

A KPI card with an embedded sparkline trend for Power BI — show value, target, and history in one compact tile so the metric and its trajectory are visible at a glance.

Codex KPI Sparkline Card extends the standard KPI tile with an inline trend line, giving viewers immediate context for whether a metric is improving, holding, or deteriorating. No separate chart needed.

IDEAL FOR

• Operational dashboards where the trend matters as much as the value
• Multi-metric pages where space is at a premium but you need both number and direction
• Monitoring views where directional change is the headline (up is good or bad)
• Replacing two-visual layouts (KPI + chart) with one tile

KEY FEATURES

• Sparkline overlay with configurable line and area styling
• Target comparison shown on the card as a variance, absolute or percentage, with its own positive and negative colours
• Last-point dot showing current value
• Optional category axis labels beneath the sparkline
• Full font controls on every text element
• Optional internal title with full font and alignment controls
• Hover tooltip showing value, target, and selected period
• Click to cross-filter other visuals
• Minimal modern design
• High contrast mode support

PRO TIP

Use a measure that returns the last 30 to 90 periods for the sparkline. Too few points and the trend feels jagged; too many and the sparkline becomes a blob. The right span depends on your business cycle.
