Information means "facts provided or learned about something or someone."
I'm looking for a similar word but one that does not suppose it is referring to facts.



I was thinking of using the word data but that doesn't sound quite right for my purpose. I had wanted to say we are overwhelmed with [word] and it is hard to know what is information and what is just nonsense.

          What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

          Image
          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

Is there a nice way to tell the pytest that "It's not a bug it's a feature" and tests should pass even when they get this warning? Is there other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
