How to visualize project variables in dashboard?

Neville Qi

I want to add a dynamic time format on a monthly dashboard, like Jan-25, Feb-25, which already stored in project variables.

How can I choose proper tile as below and configure it in slide?

You can't directly display variables in a dashboard. There are however several possible work arounds. Two I can think of:

Use a metric as suggested in this post:

Persist the variable into a dummy dataset which you can display in the dashboard.

I pulled the variables into a dataset using a Python recipe with get_custom_variables(), then used that dataset in a dashboard tile. Makes it easier to review changes. I also exported the dashboard visuals to make timeline in PowerPoint slides for team updates—it’s fast and keeps everyone in sync without digging into the backend.
