# Stat panel

The Stat panel shows a one large stat value with an optional graph sparkline. You can control the background or value color using thresholds.

> **Note:** This panel replaces the Singlestat panel, which was deprecated in Grafana 7.0.


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.

## Data and field options

Stat visualizations allow you to apply:

- [Data transformations]({{< relref "../transformations/_index.md" >}})
- [Field options and overrides]({{< relref "../field-options/_index.md" >}})
- [Thresholds]({{< relref "../thresholds.md" >}})

## Automatic layout adjustment

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.

## Display options

Use the following options to refine your visualization:

- **Show -** Choose how Grafana displays your data.
  - **Calculate -** Show a calculated value based on all rows.
    - **Calculation -** Select a calculation to apply. For information about available calculations, refer to the [Calculation list]({{< relref "../calculations-list.md" >}}).
  - **All values -** Show a separate stat for every row.
    - **Limit -** The maximum number of rows to display.
- **Fields -** Select a field name or field type (including **All fields** or **Numeric fields**) to include in this panel.
- **Value -** Select a reducer function that Grafana will use to reduce many fields to a single value. Click the **Value** list to see functions and brief descriptions.
- **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 -** (Only available in Grafana 7.1+.) 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**
  - **Value -** Colors only the value and graph area.
  - **Background -** Colors the background as well.
- **Graph 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.
- **Alignment mode -** 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.
