Delta

Cards allow you to visualize the difference between the actual and target values using special delta values and a delta indicator. If the default layout is used (Stretched layout type), the card displays the following delta values/elements:

 

DCDelta1

 

Delta Indicator - Indicates whether the actual value is less or greater than the target value.

Percent Variation and Absolute Variation - delta values that show a difference between the actual and target value. You can also display the Percent of Target value. To do this, customize the card's layout.

To customize settings that relate to the calculation and display of delta values/elements, use the Options button (the DCDelta2 icon) displayed next to the data item container in the Cards section.
