Hi @arigela_vignesh, that isn’t currently possible but I will let the product team know you’re interested in this!

I really need this too 🙂 Is there a better way to vote for a product suggestion rather that replying to a thread like I am doing now?

Note that you could use the new Multiple Value Visualization from the marketplace. You can display just one value with it and have the ability to set the font size.

Is there a hack to show the text at the bottom darker than what it shows? i am using a single value look.

Any help is appreciated. 

Somehow the title shows opaque with 30-50% transparency i believe, i hope there is an easier way to fix this.

 

I am also looking for the same. Could not find any solution yet. And I don’t link lookML based hacks to solve these problems. The same measure can be used in different places/viz. So I don’t want to control it in the model. 

You’ll want to use html for a single value viz font size change. You’ll take the measure and add html to it for font size, color, text, etc.

For situations where I have more than one row, I do things like:

html: <div class="vis">
      <div class="vis-single-value" style="line-height: 1;font-size: 17px; text-align:center;color:black;" >
      </div>
    </div>;;

and then you can add your rendered value and texts into the html.

Hi @p_talkad, I’ll let the product team know that this is a feature that you’re interested in. For now, you should be able to accomplish this with html formatting like so:



dimension: formatted_field


sql: ${TABLE}.field_name


html: <font size="10">{{ value }}</font>

I’m also interested in this. There are times that I want a specific single value to be much larger than other single values. Currently even when using the font size property in html, all fonts are resized to the same size, which defeats the purpose.



Can this be raised?

Is it possible to change the font size in Single Value viz of the looker without LookML. or is there any custom viz available in market as an option for this.

vinayak_talikot

As few of them mentioned above , I got this done by (along with adding links and making it bold)


html: <p style="font-size: 85px"><b><a href="URL">{{rendered_value}}</a></b></p> ;;



If its still not working , check :





  • If you have added Value Format - in your visualisation (0, 0# etc) . Remove it (instead add it In dimension/measure definition) , because thats somehow overriding the above html code.




Thanks Annie for helping out on this 😃

probably better workaround

Our users likewise are interested in being able to customize the font size of visualizations - we often display Looker dashboards on TV screens and being able to customize font size would greatly contribute to visibility.

I know this is an old topic, but I would also really like this feature.
I’m looking for a way of doing this in the configuration of the tile and not in a static way (i.e. via LookML code). I know it is possible to do so in the Multiple Value Visualization, but here it is not possible to do comparison numbers as it is for the single value visualization. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

The documentation here states that you can do this using



font_size: small | medium | large



But this does not appear to work.

I’m building LookML dashboards.

srivera

Not a problem. I figured that was the case since changing the font size mixed with the dynamic dashboard layouts could be difficult.



Thanks for the update.

J

One workaround would be to select a Multi Value visualization and then remove all fields except one you want. We can then adjust font size from the visualization settings

@Aron_Clymer Responding to a discourse post is a great way to let us know that you’re interested in a suggested product idea. You can also visit help.looker.com if you’re more comfortable writing an email.

p_talkad

Will you be bringing it back? Would be useful if we could adjust the size of the Single Value.

Hello @srivera, are you building a User Defined Dashboard or a LookML dashboard?

Hi @srivera, it looks like we have stopped supporting font_size for single value visualizations. I’ll work on getting that removed from the docs.

Hey @Matthew.Darwin, you should also be able to use {{value}}. For example,



html: <p style="color: red; font-size: 50px"> {{ value }} </p> ;;


As you mentioned, rendered value is used when we want to apply Looker’s value formatting.

Matt, my hack, if you can call it that, was to use a table visualization for HTML measure instead of single value visualization.Table Viz respects the HTML formatting better. I would then hide the row number, other dimensions and use soft hypen as the column header name for the HTML measure. It is not clean, but works.

From the Edit menu on the right, choose the Table Theme that works for you.

@Matthew.Darwin, yes I will let our team know that you will want to have control over the font size in the option of the Single Value visualization.


For the time being, if you try to apply this to one specific Single Value viz, I would suggest making an additional measure, using the same code but changing the html for that new field and define the Single Viz on this measure to show it larger than other Single Viz using the same data.
