Single column - "data blocks" - visualisations #2790

Request came in via support: https://akvoo.reamaze.com/admin/conversations/akvolumen-support-request-number-374390-from-andrew-at-akvo-dot- screen-shot-20200730-at-08 (1)

If in particular columns you might only want to display aggregates of numerical values e.g. mean, of particular columns as numbers only instead of bar charts.This is similar to what I'm looking for. My questions are, are these numbers already calculated automatically, e.g. if one wants to display mean of forms submitted? Also, is the process automated such that if people collected data will these numbers be automatically updated once a person clicks update to the dataset?

Opportunity

Lumen offers quite a variety of visualisations, where bar charts are highly popular. But we often hear the request to be able to create also single value visualisations (to be added to dashboards), like in the image above. So for example, what is the sum of all my submissions? What is the average of farmer yield?

To create such visualisations Salim takes a NUMBER column from a dataset, applies the transformation and that is it. He might want to adapt the labels. But in practice it is a simple visualisation. The visualisation is updated if the data set is updated and it behaves in the same way.
