The Stat panel visualization shows a one large stat value with an optional graph sparkline. You can control the background or value color using thresholds or overrides.
The panel automatically adjusts the layout depending on available width and height in the dashboard. It automatically hides the graph (sparkline) if the panel becomes too small.
- **Calculation -** Select a reducer function that Grafana will use to reduce many fields to a single value. For a list of available calculations, refer to [Calculation types]({{< relref "../../calculation-types/" >}}).
- **Fields -** Select the fields display in the panel.
#### All values
Show a separate stat for every row. If you select this option, then you can also limit the number of rows to display.
- **Limit -** The maximum number of rows to display. Default is 5,000.
- **Fields -** Select the fields display in the panel.
## Stat styles
Style your visualization.
### Orientation
Choose a stacking direction.
- **Auto -** Grafana selects what it thinks is the best orientation.
- **Horizontal -** Bars stretch horizontally, left to right.
- **Vertical -** Bars stretch vertically, top to bottom.
### Text mode
You can use the Text mode option to control what text the panel renders. If the value is not important, only the name and color is, then change the **Text mode** to **Name**. The value will still be used to determine color and is displayed in a tooltip.
- **Auto -** If the data contains multiple series or fields, show both name and value.
- **Value -** Show only value, never name. Name is displayed in the hover tooltip instead.
- **Value and name -** Always show value and name.
- **Name -** Show name instead of value. Value is displayed in the hover tooltip.
- **None -** Show nothing (empty). Name and value are displayed in the hover tooltip.
- **None -** Hides the graph and only shows the value.
- **Area -** Shows the area graph below the value. This requires that your query returns a time column.
### Text alignment
Choose an alignment mode.
- **Auto -** If only a single value is shown (no repeat), then the value is centered. If multiple series or rows are shown, then the value is left-aligned.
