Easy Tech TutsHow to Use the Multi-Row Card Visualization in Power BI - Show Multiple KPIs at Once Easily 2026
By Impran M N
When you need to show several key numbers at once without cluttering a page with separate cards, the Multi-Row Card visual is a natural fit. This guide walks through setting it up in Power BI so multiple KPIs display cleanly side by side. It's useful for anyone building summary dashboards where quick comparisons matter more than deep detail.
01Add the Multi-Row Card visual
Select the Multi-Row Card visual from the visualizations pane and place it on your report canvas where a KPI summary makes sense.
02Add your KPI fields
Drag the measures you want to display, such as revenue, units sold, or conversion rate, into the visual's fields well.
03Customize the KPI display
Adjust formatting options like font size, category labels, and value alignment so each metric is easy to read at a glance.
04Consider business use cases
Think through how the layout will be used, such as an executive summary row that shows revenue, costs, and margin together for quick comparison.
05Connect automation and updates
If your data source refreshes automatically, the multi-row card updates along with it, keeping the KPI summary current without manual edits.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Multi-Row Card different from a regular Card visual?
A standard Card shows a single value, while the Multi-Row Card can display several fields at once, each with its own label, in a stacked layout.
Can I control how many KPIs appear per row?
The visual's formatting settings let you adjust layout and wrapping, though the exact number of rows shown depends on how many fields you add and the available space.
Does the Multi-Row Card support conditional formatting?
Yes, you can apply conditional formatting to the values so metrics change color based on thresholds you define.
Is this visual good for mobile dashboards?
It works reasonably well on mobile since it stacks values vertically, though it's worth previewing in the mobile layout view to confirm readability.
