The Big value works for any type of value: string, numeric, boolean, you name it! We always display the first value from the field in your results table. The options for Big value include: * Selecting which field you want to use for your Big value. * Updating the label below the Big value value. * Adding a comparison to the previous row * Show raw value or percentage change * Show red or green for positive or negative change * Label your comparison value * Adding conditional formatting rules to change the color of the big value based on conditions. ## Compact style Numeric big values can be shortened using the **Compact** dropdown in the chart configuration panel. In addition to fixed styles (thousands, millions, billions, trillions), you can pick **Auto (K, M, B, T)** to let Lightdash choose the suffix based on the value's magnitude — so `1,500` renders as `1.50K` and `2,300,000` renders as `2.30M` without having to reconfigure the tile when the underlying value changes scale. The Auto option is available for number and currency fields. ## Referencing the active granularity in labels The label and comparison label accept the `${table_field.granularity}` placeholder to show the active date granularity — type `$` in the label field to pick from the available date dimensions. See [Referencing the granularity in chart labels](/explore/dashboards/date-zoom#referencing-the-granularity-in-chart-labels) for the full syntax and supported labels. ## Conditional formatting You can apply conditional formatting to your big value to change its color based on specific conditions. To set up conditional formatting, go to the **Configure** tab, then select **Conditional formatting**. ### Adding a rule Click the **+ Add** button to add a new rule. Each rule lets you: 1. Choose a color for light mode and dark mode separately. 2. Define one or more conditions that determine when the color is applied. ### Conditions Each condition uses an operator and a value to compare against the big value. The available operators depend on the type of field you're displaying: * **Numeric fields** support standard comparison operators (e.g., greater than, less than, equal to, between). * **String dimensions** support `equals`, `not equals`, and `includes`. You can add multiple conditions within a single rule. Multiple conditions within a rule are combined with **AND** logic, meaning all conditions must be met for the color to apply. ### Multiple rules You can add multiple formatting rules. If two or more rules match, the rule that appears last in your list takes priority. ### Dark mode support Each rule lets you set separate colors for light and dark mode, so your conditional formatting looks good regardless of which theme your viewers are using.
