Consider Merging Cards into a Matrix

What It Detects

This flag identifies report pages where multiple single-measure Card visuals share the same filter context. Each Card likely generates a separate DAX query. Consider replacing these Cards with a single Matrix visual and placing the measures in the Values field to reduce query count and improve performance.

Why It Matters

Excessive DAX queries — Every Card visual generates its own DAX query against the dataset. A page with 10 Cards means 10 separate queries, even when they share the same filter context.
Slower page rendering — More queries means longer page load times, especially on large datasets or when slicers are applied.
Simplified maintenance — A single Matrix visual with multiple measures is easier to format, align, and update than a collection of individual Cards.
Better user experience — A Matrix provides a more compact and scannable layout for displaying multiple KPIs side by side.

Trigger Conditions

A page is flagged when:

There are multiple Card visuals on the same report page.
The Card visuals share the same filter context (e.g., same slicers, same page-level filters).
Each Card displays a single measure.

Threshold: ≥ 3 single-measure Card visuals sharing the same filter context on a page (default).

Output

Field	Description
`reportName`	Report name
`pageName`	Page name
`cardCount`	Number of single-measure Card visuals on the page
`measures`	List of measures displayed across the Cards
`workspaceName`	Workspace name

Notes and Edge Cases

Intentional design — Some report designs intentionally use individual Cards for visual emphasis or conditional formatting per KPI. Evaluate whether consolidation fits the design intent.
Different filter contexts — Cards that are filtered differently (e.g., one Card shows current year, another shows previous year) should not necessarily be merged.
Custom Card visuals — Third-party Card visuals may not be detected by this flag.

Excessive Visuals — High total visual count on a page, including Card visuals.
Non-Data Visuals — Decorative visuals that don’t display data.
