The current card visual forces users to overlap elements or waste copious amounts of time creating custom visuals. The new card feature should give users the ability to create multiple cards in a single container and provide a greater level of customization.

This type of simple formatting feature should be included by default. It would greatly increase our use of Power BI.

RE: Epic idea: New card visual

It happens in virtually every project I attempt to complete with PowerBI, I start out excited about the potential of the visual until I hit the catch, which is a lack of formatting/functionality that is available in even the most basic freeware alternatives.

I'm not sure what the issue is, but nobody who has any experience putting together reports in a professional setting would ever release the KPI visual without the ability to change the size of metric.

The fact that PowerBI is developed by the industry authority only makes the current state of the program that much more baffling.

Please allow users to change the font size. It is HUGE and takes up too much valuable space. Thanks!

Please make this change. It is painful to watch the font size.

Evidently, this was a feature, but it may have been removed in a later build. Reference this demonstration video from Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at the 5:06 mark: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-tutorial-kpi/

The font for the KPI indicator is huge and does not shrink proportionally as you change the size of the visual. This greatly limits the real estate on the page to accommodate this visual.

I think the visual should have a "hide when blank () " Option. Requires clear communication during development:
A message box should apper in the editor (1 visual is currently hidden because the value is blank and the "hide if blank" option is on.)

I have just created an invoice for a client. Using cards was the best way to layout single values that appear under my table of line items eg. Sub total, less marketing costs, grand total, Account number, account code. But the lack of alignment means it looks a bit second rate.
