Create Sparkline

Everything you need to know to create the chart you want.

Overview

Sparklines are tiny line charts without axes or labels. They provide a quick glance at trend direction inside tables or KPI cards.

When to use it

• Embedding trend hints inside dashboards or status cards.

• Comparing multiple metrics in compact layouts.

• Highlighting the shape of change rather than exact numbers.

Avoid sparklines when precise values or annotations are required; use full line charts instead.

Data requirements

• Sequential data (time or ordered stages).

• One series per sparkline; keep point counts reasonable (8–20).

• Provide context elsewhere (title, KPI text) since sparklines are minimalist.
