Delta guide
The number, how it moved, and where it’s heading.
Fields
| Field well | What to put in it |
|---|---|
| Values | The measures to show, one tile each (up to 8). |
| Comparison | What each value is compared with, such as last year or a target, in the same order as Values. A tile without one shows just the value. |
| Trend axis (Pro) | A date or month field for the sparklines. |
Set it up
- Add Delta to the report page (see Install the visuals) and drag in the fields above.
- The value is the measure for the whole period. Switch Trend › Value shows to “Latest point” to show the last month instead.
- In Format › Labels, “Compared with” names what each tile is compared with (“2025, target, last month”).
- In Variance, pick percent, value or both; list the measures where lower is better (“Costs, Churn”); and set a neutral band so small changes stay grey.
In the report
- Hover a tile for the value, the comparison, the difference and the change in percent; hover the sparkline for each point.
- The report’s number formats, with display units that keep three digits (4.49 M€) or the units you choose.
- A percentage measure always shows its change in percentage points.
- Light or dark background, high-contrast mode, and your own better, worse and sparkline colours.
- Tab into the tiles and move with the arrow keys. Screen readers hear each tile as one sentence.
- The format pane and messages are in English and Norwegian.
Pro features
- Several tiles: up to 8 key figures in a row or grid
- Sparkline: the trend under each value, with an end dot and point tooltips
Pro features need a licence key for Delta or Everything, or a 14-day trial key. Without a valid key, Delta shows the first tile without its sparkline, with a short notice above the chart and a “Try Pro free” button. Everything else keeps working. See Add your licence key.
