Next step: Build a useful dashboard with big numbers and charts next to each other to get insights with one glance 

Here are a few tips for building Big Number charts and dashboards:

• Choose the right metric: It should be the single most important indicator of your target audience’s success. Think big-picture and prioritize something actionable.
• Label the metric clearly: Don’t assume everyone will understand what it represents. Provide a concise explanation next to the number.
• Use color strategically: Employ color to highlight the meaning of the metric. Green for positive values, red for negative, and yellow for cautionary zones can be effective.
