Creating sparklines (without using a table or matrix)

[Anonymous]

I tried creating sparklines by just making a small line chart and turning off all the titles and background, but the spacing of the chart is just off. The line is never centered and there is always empty space. 

I can't use the built in sparklines for the matrix and table since I can't make cell background transparent, also the sparklines themselves are just tiny.

@Anonymous You can create a sparkline-like visual using a line chart by following these steps:

1. Insert a line chart on your report canvas.
2. Add the necessary fields to the Values and Axis categories. Typically, you'll have a Date/Time field for the X-axis and a numeric field for the Values.
3. Remove or minimize unnecessary chart elements like titles, axis labels, and gridlines. You can do this by selecting the chart and using the formatting options in the Visualizations pane.
4. If your line chart has data labels, you should turn them off or format them to be minimalistic.
5. If there's a legend, you can turn it off if it's not needed for your sparkline.
6. Adjust the plot area of the chart to minimize any space. You can do this by selecting the plot area and resizing it.
7. Ensure that the background of the line chart is transparent. You can set the background color to be fully transparent in the formatting options.
8. Format the line to be visually appealing. You can adjust the line's color, style, and thickness to make it more prominent.
9. If necessary, adjust the Y-axis range to focus on the relevant data. This can help minimize unnecessary space above and below the line.

You could look for custom visual or add spatkline in a form of the new card visual.
