How to create 1 card instead of 3 card boxes

hi,

 

How can I recreate this into 1 card?  I use the card visual 3 different times to come up with this

Can this be done in 1 card?

HI @wonka1234  
Yes, you can but only with the New Card visual in Fabric/Power BI, not with the classic multi-row card. The new visual supports Small Multiples, which lets you arrange reference cards horizontally, vertically, or in a grid.

To display reference cards horizontally in Power BI:

  • Use the New Card visual, not the classic multi-row card.

  • In the Visualizations pane, turn on Small multiples.

  • Drag a field into the Small multiples well to split the cards.

  • Go to the Format pane, expand the Small multiples section.

  • Set Layout orientation to Horizontal.

  • Customize spacing, padding, and dividers as needed for a clean layout.

     

Best Regards,

Requirements - 
1.  I am using a Card(New) to get the bottom row.

2. I am using a Card to do the "top of the box" which will contain a measure in actuality. Ie a Number

3. How do I combine these into 1 Card(new)? I want it to be done in 1 card (new)

You can try this one.

I like to work with this one. It gives you very nice possibilities to achive your target result.
I did something similar (like your target) already with this visual.

Play a bit around with it, it worth it.

how did you get a measure in a card to the top of the boxes/cards? thats what i am struggling with.

Try it like this:

Settings for layout:

You can play with the layout as well.
There are two places where you can adjust the layout.
Try first the one above.

@sergej_og thanks. Is there anyway to make the layout of the references cards horizontal?

Hi @wonka1234 ,

 

Yeah, this can be done using a single card visual — but not with the default Card visual. What you can try instead is using the Multi-row card visual. It allows you to display multiple fields in one visual, stacked vertically.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Select the Multi-row card visual from the Visualizations pane.
  2. Drag all the fields you want to show into the Values section.
  3. Format it a bit to match the layout you had with the 3 separate cards.

If you need more control over layout or styling, another option is to use a Matrix visual with no rows or columns, just values — but Multi-row card should be enough for most cases.

Let me know if you want help setting it up.

If my response resolved your query, kindly mark it as the Accepted Solution to assist others. Additionally, I would be grateful for a 'Kudos' if you found my response helpful.

I think ill need a specific intstructions, ive tried to play with both visuals and cannot get it to work.

If both Matrix and other visuals didn’t quite work out, you might wanna try a workaround using a multi-row card with some formatting tricks. It’s not perfect but can mimic the layout you’re aiming for.

Here’s a quick idea:

  • Create a measure that returns your percentage value (like <0.01%)
  • Use a multi-row card and place that measure along with dummy measures for "top of the box" and "percentage" labels
  • Format the text size and alignment to stack them visually

Also, make sure to turn off category labels and adjust padding to get a cleaner look.

It’s a bit of a hack, but sometimes that’s what we gotta do with Power BI visuals 😅

Let me know if you want a sample PBIX or DAX snippet for this.

can I get a sample PBIX for this? For example 3 or 4 measures, 3 of them below and one ontop spanning overtop of them
