Can I edit the resulting visual?

Yes. It is made of ordinary Excel objects, so colors, text and size are all freely adjustable.

Does it refresh when the data changes?

Yes. The visual is bound to your cells and updates as the linked values change.

Is anything written into my data?

No. The source cells are read only; the single addition is the visual.

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.

Excel Mini Columns KPI Card

In short: A value with a mini column chart. 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

Shows a value with mini columns (a small trend) on the right.

When to use it

It earns its place whenever you have to showing a KPI with a mini column trend of recent periods.

Example scenarios

How to use it

The visual is inserted bound to your data; it refreshes as the cells change.

Effect on your data and undo

Mini Columns does not change your source data; the result is added as a separate item. It refreshes automatically when the linked cells change. If it is not what you wanted, Undo Last restores the previous state.

How it differs from similar tools

The card is bound to your cells: change the value and the card refreshes, and it stays freely editable as a shape. No formulas or macros to maintain.

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.
