Formatting of Cards vs Shapes

I made a mockup of a dashboard and used Shapes and in Shape - Stype-Test I added some random numbers.

 

Now I am populating these with real numbers, I move them to Cards and I cannot find the format I made using the Shape.

 

Is there a way in the Card visual to have the callout value with a background?

Below is the Card (top) and I want it to look like the Shape below with the lighter background on the number. I can't find anything which would do that in the Format pane.

Hi @some_analyst 

 

That option should be under cards

Hi @some_analyst  From what I know, I dont think it supports background formatting specifically for the callout value. You can try alternatives like overlaying a semi-transparent Shape or using a Text Box with a Shape for custom designs. For advanced customization, tools like Deneb or Charticulator might help.
