# Stat panel
<a name="v9-panels-stat"></a>

****  
This documentation topic is designed for Grafana workspaces that support **Grafana version 9.x**.  
For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 12.x, see [Working in Grafana version 12](using-grafana-v12.md).  
For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x, see [Working in Grafana version 10](using-grafana-v10.md).  
For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x, see [Working in Grafana version 8](using-grafana-v8.md).

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.

By default, the Stat panel displays one of the following:
+ Just the value for a single series or field.
+ Both the value and name for multiple series or fields.

You can use the **Text mode** to control whether the text is displayed or not.

## Automatic layout adjustment
<a name="v9-panels-stat-automatic-adjust"></a>

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.

## Value options
<a name="v9-panels-stat-value"></a>

Use the following options to refine how your visualization displays the value:

**Show**

Choose how Grafana displays your data.

**Calculate**

Show a calculated value based on all rows.
+ **Calculation** – Select a reducer function that Grafana will use to reduce many fields to a single value. For a list of available calculations, see [standard calculations](v9-panels-calculation-types.md).
+ **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
<a name="v9-panels-stat-styles"></a>

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.

**Color mode**

Select a color mode.
+ **Value** – Colors only the value and graph area.
+ **Background** – Colors the background as well.

**Graph mode**

Select a graph and sparkline mode.
+ **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.
+ **Center** – Stat value is centered.

Text size

Adjust the sizes of the gauge text.
+ **Title** – Enter a numeric value for the gauge title size.
+ **Value** – Enter a numeric value for the gauge value size.
