Number widget secondary stat

We’ve improved how the number widget’s secondary stat displays a percentage change when the previous value is zero. While what we were doing before was mathematically correct, showing an ‘infinite’ increase or ‘NaN’ isn’t very useful. Now, when your previous value was zero, we always show the absolute rather than relative change. So if your current value is 10 and your previous value was 0 we’ll now show an increase of 10, rather than an infinite percentage increase.

Currently this change just applies to Salesforce, Spreadsheet and Custom number widgets - we’re working on rolling it out across the board.

Line chart tooltip

To make it easier to read off the values on your line charts, we’ve upgraded the tooltip. The new tooltip fully supports multiple series and now also includes the x-value so you know exactly which point it’s referring to.

Salesforce sort order

To give you added control over how your Salesforce bar charts are plotted, the integration now takes into account the sort order saved in your Salesforce report.

As an example of what this let’s you achieve, here’s the same chart sorted by record count in the first and alphabetically in the second.
