- In short
- Several mini KPIs in one card. You pick the template from the gallery and map its fields to your cells; the visual stays bound to the data, updates when it changes, and remains freely editable. The source table is untouched.
What it shows
Gathers 2 to 6 mini KPIs in a grid on one card.
When to use it
Typical use: showing several related metrics (revenue, units, returns, satisfaction) together on one card.
Example scenarios

What it needs
Bound cells or ranges (value, target, comparison, trend as the template needs). Supported data types: cells or ranges (live-bound).
How to use it
- Select the data range or table you want to visualize.
- Open the KPI Cards (Visualizations menu) gallery from the XLMind Plus tab.
- Pick the Card Grid template and map its fields to your cells.
- The visual is inserted bound to your data; it refreshes as the cells change.
What it produces

Effect on your data and undo
Card Grid does not change your source data; the result is added as a separate item. It refreshes automatically when the linked cells change. Undo Last rolls the change back in a single step.
How it differs from similar tools
Instead of hand-building a card, you get a ready layout wired to your cells; the card tracks the data and its look stays fully adjustable.
Good to know
Auto-refreshes when a bound cell changes. Binds to one or more live cells.
Limitations
Binds to one or more live cells.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I restyle the result by hand?
- Yes. The visual is built from plain Excel objects; recolor, resize and rewrite it as you like.
- Is the result live?
- Yes. It works off your data, so when the source cells change, so does the visual.
- Is my source table modified?
- No. The tool only reads your data; the only addition to the sheet is the visual itself.
- Can I move to a different template?
- Yes; open the gallery again and build a new template on the same data. The old visual stays until you remove it.
