How to display just 1 specific cell of data in a dashboard?

.Leon.

Hi - I am looking to do some very simple dashboarding where I may display the following in separate areas of a dashboard;

Total Number of X

Total Number of Y

Total Number of Z

I want the ability to just display 1 cell of data per widget, that refers to a specific cell in a sheet, but instead I seem to be pulling in the entire column.

I may have skipped over this when reviewing the dashboarding training, but it isn't intuitive to see how to do this separately/individually.

Is there an easy step I am missing here to help achieve just display a pre-selected cell of data?

Thank you in advance.

Use a metric widget, select the specific cell.

Hi @.Leon.

I hope you're well and safe!

To add to Adam's excellent advice/answer.

You could use the Sheet Summary, reference the different cells, and then use that in the Dashboard instead.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Thanks both - it was late at night and I was struggling to figure this out for some reason.

I ended up watching a quick youtube dashboard video that set me straight as well.

Cheers!
