How to Create a Card in Power BI
Cards are simple yet powerful visualizations in Power BI that allow you to display a single metric or KPI (Key Performance Indicator) prominently. They provide a clear and concise way to convey important information at a glance.

1. Connect to your data source by clicking on the "Get Data" button in the Home tab.
2. Choose your data source type (e.g., Excel, SQL Server, CSV) and follow the prompts to connect to your data.
**Step 3: Import Data:**
1. Once connected to your data source, import the relevant data tables into Power BI.
**Step 4: Add a Card Visualization:**
