How to add a single number summary at the top of a dashboard?

[mj2024]

Hi

I have a number of visuals where I have to know the latest value for. The approach I have been taking is using my mouse and hovering over the latest value to get the value.  This isn't ideal for me.  I would like to create a single number summary.  I have seen single number summaries on dashboards but I do not know what they are called.  What are they called? Here are some examples I found online:

How do I create these?

Thank you

Hi @mj2024 ,

Based on the description, creating the measure to get the latest value. Using the LASTDATE function to get the last date.

Latest date number = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX('Table'[Number]),
    FILTER(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Date] = LASTDATE('Table'[Date])
        //'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date])
    )
)

Then, drag the measure to the card visual.

Pin the visual to the dashboard and move the tile to the top of the dashboard.

Thanks for that.  I am new to PowerBI.  I am not too familiar with measures.  All of the data has dates with them.  I need to show the latest value for a particular field in a table.  How would I do this?
