Big Number ​

The big number component provides a prominent display of a single important metric. This is useful for highlighting key statistics like total sales, average values, or record counts that summarize your data.

Example ​

Configuration Options ​

Title ​

Text to be shown above the number. Used to label what the metric represents.

Subtitle ​

Additional descriptive text shown below the number. Can be used to provide context or explain how the metric is calculated.

Data Source ​

Select which data source the metric should use. This must be one of the data sources already added to your map.

Measure Field ​

The numeric field to calculate the metric from. This must be a numeric field from your selected data source. For example:

• Revenue
• Customer count
• Temperature
• Distance
• Population

Aggregation Type ​

Determines how the measure field values are combined into a single number. Available options:

• Minimum: Shows the smallest value
• Maximum: Shows the largest value
• Sum: Adds up all values
• Average: Takes the mean of all values
• Count: Shows the number of records
• Median: Shows the middle value

Number Formatting ​

Control how the aggregated number is displayed using custom formatting options. This allows you to present values as currency, percentages, dates, compact notation, and more.

Available format types:

• Auto: Default locale-based formatting
• Number: Customizable numeric display with decimal places, thousands separators, and sign options
• Percent: Percentage formatting with optional automatic conversion
• Currency: Monetary values with customizable symbols and positioning
• Date/Time: Human-readable dates and times from timestamps
• Compact: Large numbers with K, M, B suffixes (e.g., "1.5M" for 1,500,000)
• Custom: Advanced pattern-based formatting for specialized needs

Unit Labels: All format types support optional unit labels that can be added as a prefix or suffix:

• Examples: "°F", "/year", "items", "mm"
• Useful for adding units of measurement to your metrics

When to use:

• Currency format for revenue, costs, or financial metrics
• Percent format for conversion rates or growth percentages
• Compact format for very large numbers (population, page views, etc.)
• Date/Time format when displaying temporal aggregations
• Unit labels to clarify what the number represents
