Large Font Data Cards
I'm trying to create Google Analytics style dashboards using our own internal data. I'm having difficulty creating data cards like the ones found in the image I've attached. Notice the font in the single data point cards and how big it is. If you've tried to create data cards in PowerBI desktop or the service, you'll notice the max font size is 40 and even when you choose to resize the cards on your dashboard after you've published and pinned, the font shrinks along with the card size. There ends up being a lot of empty/dead space surrounding your data point. Ideally, the number would take up the entirety of the card. I'm at a loss for what to do. Is this not something we can do with Power BI? Can only big names like Google and others who have public facing content packs utilize these larger fonts? Any help or insight will be appreciated. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've searched for how to do this and I've come up empty.

Are you using “Pin Live Page”? Please try to use “Pin visual” instead.
Best Regards,
Herbert

jgarciabu Help me a bit in understanding the issue... Your image shows the larger font size right? But there is none of the cards you are creating in it correct? When i build a card, and max out the font size, it is the same size as the ones in my Google Analytics report... neither one is bigger. The top one's below are the GA, and the bottom one's I just threw in quick.

Hi Eno,
Thanks for your response. Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. Take a look at the following screenshot to see what my dashboard looks like.
Notice how I have to pack a ton of data on one card to cut down on the dead space. Ideally, I'd like to have a card as small as the one on the right but I'd like for the number to fill out the whole card. How are you able to keep your numbers so large while shrinking the card?

jgarciabu There are two card types. The one it looks like you are using on the left is the "Multi-Row Card", is the one on the right just the "Card" visual? They are right next to each other in the Visualization section.
I'm using the "Card" visual to produce the tiles I showed in the image.
