Changing a font in a dashboard

Karen Bruer

I have a dashboard using reports and metrics widgets, using sheet summaries and grid data, but the font is too large. How do I change that?

In the screenshot, the red dot and the blue dot show the data that is coming from the grid data of a sheet. Is there any way of changing the font of the blue dot?

OMG, I didn't click on the widget box, now I see the edit option. Thanks so much, this is going to be a game changer for me!

From within edit mode, you should get the toolbar pictured below when clicking on text items. There is a font size selector on this toolbar.

In my Metric Widget, when I select the Data Source, I'm asked to select the data from the Grid Data. There is no option there to edit.

When the data loads into my dashboard, I can edit the layout, position and alignment, but there is no option to edit font.

Perhaps I need to load this data into a report so that I can edit it? Which I've tried but I can't seem to get the data into a report, which is why I used the Metric Widget.

I'm not sure why you would not have the font options. Here is an image with more visible.

With so many options, it is easy to miss things. I am glad it's working for you now!
