Card_StretchedLayout_Sparkline

To learn how to display the sparkline for different layout types, see Layout.

Data Binding Specifics

You need to provide a date-time or numeric dimension whose data is used as argument values to display a sparkline within the card.

Card_Sparkline_DataSections

If you have provided both actual and target values, a sparkline visualizes the actual value's variation.
