Use a metric as suggested in this post:

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.
