Numeric Card gadget for Jira Dashboard
Asked by Lucas Ferreira:

Hey all!

I was wondering if there is a gadget for Jira dashboards in which I could display a 'random number' for a determined filter/JQL I build... similar to those numeric cards we can build in PowerBI or any other BI tool?

For example: a query for number of bugs in current sprint, let's say... 8, then this number would apear in a card/balloon on the jira dashboard (I'm aware I can generate a list of them by using the "Issue Statistics" or the "Filter Results" standard gadgets in Jira dashboard, but I'd like to only show a big number, you know what I mean?"

Is there any gadget like this? Preferably for free?

I'm currently responsible for a few KPIs in my current project, and all of them are based on JQL (to get the values), however I'm reporting them on a Google Sheets... It would be much better if I could use Jira Dashboard for that!

As far as I know Jira does not provide such gadgets.

But this can be easily done by using some of the gadgets offered by our **[Great Gadgets](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=stonikbyte%20great%20gadgets%20agile)** app.

For example, with the **Issue Filter Formula Gadget** you can display the COUNT, SUM, MIN, MAX, AVERAGE etc for the issues and a numerical field of these issues from a filter or JQL.

You can show the result as a **big number:**

... or as a **gauge chart**:

In addition, with the **Advanced Issue Filter Formula gadget** offered by the same app you can calculate and display any math formulas, percentages, rations, etc by combining the issues from up-to 6 filters.

The app offers also a Pivot Table \& Pivot Chart gadget plus many other that you will find useful. And it is fully localized in PT.

This app is **free** with the Jira free plan (up-to 10 Jira users). Otherwise, you could start with a **free 1-month trial**.

Hope this helps.

With that gadget, am I able to pull a big number with the sum of the story points within a determined amount of tasks? Or even do calcs like % of Points Commited / Points Completed within a sprint?


author: Danut M _StonikByte_
body: Hi [@Lucas Ferreira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4932990),

Yes. Both gadgets can calculate the SUM of Story Points for the issues in a filter.

The **Advanced Issue Filter Formula Gadgets** allows you to calculate percentages for issues in multiple filters.

For percentages like the one you mentioned, you could also use the **Pivot Table \& Pivot Chart gadget** and the **Team Velocity gadget** offered by the same app.

author: Lucas Ferreira
body: [@Danut M _StonikByte_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502420) would you know what JQL would I use to bring the SUM of story points commited to a sprint and another for the SUM of story points completed on that same sprint?


author: Danut M _StonikByte_
body: Hi [@Lucas Ferreira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4932990),

If you need historical data (for past sprints) use the **Team Velocity gadget**; it does not require a JQL, you just select the board instead.

If you want these numbers for current sprint, try something like this:

**For committed** (actually, current scope) - you need a JQL that returns all the issues from the sprint

*sprint = "Your Sprint Name or Sprint ID"*

**For completed**- you need a JQL that returns all the issues from the sprint that are in the statuses mapped on the last column of the agile board (so look at the Board Settings \> Columns)

*sprint = "Your Sprint Name or Sprint ID" AND status IN ("Closed", "Done", ... etc)*

Hope this helps.

Danut.

body: [@Danut M _StonikByte_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502420) but let's say the sprint had its scope changed a bit (issues being added and removed), then the JQL to return issues from the current sprint wouldn't be correct (for committed), isn't it true?


author: Danut M _StonikByte_
body: [@Lucas Ferreira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4932990) Yes, you are right. But I'm afraid that this cannot be achieved by a JQL. The JQL always returns the ++current++ story points; you actually need the story points at the start of the sprint, which is not possible with JQL.

For this type of info you could use gadgets like **Team Velocity** or **Sprint Burndown Burnup Chart**, which use advanced processing for determining the story points at the start of the sprint.
