Summary number and Summary change
Summary number
Use the Summary number visualization to highlight a large number that is important in a project. This visualization behaves in the following ways, using the associated data source:
- Selects the total of the column if no cell is selected.
- If a single cell is selected, it shows the summary for that cell.
- If more than one cell is selected, it shows the first cell selected.
- If the column is selected, it picks the first cell value in the column.
As part of the visualization settings, specific Summary number options are available.

Abbreviate value |
Select Abbreviate value to abbreviate intelligently the number value. When selected, enter a number to define the amount of abbreviation. For example:
Original value | Abbreviation value | Result | $12,011,141.25 | Not selected | $12,011,141.25 | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 0 | $12M | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 1 | $12.0M | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 2 | $12.01M | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 3 | $12.011M |

Choose to display the max, min, mean, median, or sum for a selection of data. |
Summary change
Use the Summary Change visualization to show the delta (change) between two numbers.
This visualization behaves in the following ways:
- If no cell is selected, it compares the first two cell values in the column.
- If one cell is selected, it shows 0, because it compares the cell value to itself.
- If two cells are selected, the first selected cell is taken as numerator and the second as denominator.
- If more than two cells are selected, it only considers the first two for comparison.
- If a range of cells is selected, it compares the first to the last cells selected in the range.
- If the column is selected, it compares the first value to itself, which shows a change of 0.
As part of the visualization settings, specific Summary change options are available.

Show raw difference |
Show the raw difference between the 2 numbers. You can also abbreviate values and show up to 3 decimal places with this option. |
Abbreviate value |
Select Abbreviate value to abbreviate intelligently the changed value. When selected, enter a number to define the amount of abbreviation. For example:
Original value | Abbreviation value | Result | $12,011,141.25 | Not selected | $12,011,141.25 | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 0 | $12M | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 1 | $12.0M | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 2 | $12.01M | $12,011,141.25 | Selected, set to 3 | $12.011M |
